How do we migrate from SPM to MCM?
To migrate from SPM to MCM with Manage Inventory delegation type, publishers must accept the invitation from Clickio (ALZ Software Ltd). The migration process will vary depending on whether publishers have a Google account, AdSense account, or Ad Manager account.
Make note that Google plans to deprecate SPM (the current feature of the product) in mid- 2021. Google will continue to support it until then, but we strongly recommend that you quickly take the steps outlined in the invitation email sent to you, otherwise Clickio will no longer be able to monetize your inventory.
Please find below a table that shows the main possible migration scenarios and the corresponding action plans.
