2 years ago Google began phasing out the Google Contacts API and replaced it with the People API, which is not supported by older versions of eM Client.

Since you’re still using an older version of eM Client which doesn’t support the new People API, you need to upgrade to at least eM Client’s version 8.2 in order to keep synchronizing your Google Contacts. [You can get the last version 8 release from here](https://www.emclient.com/dist/v8.2.1721/setup.msi).

Don’t ya just love it?  
Am I to assume that the last version 8 release will still activate with my current activation key or am I going to have to buy a new license?

Yes, that’s why I gave you the link for the last version 8 release, rather than for the current version 9 release.

If your license works with 8.1 then it is valid for all version 8 releases, including all 8.2.x releases.
