In the year 2007 United Devices, owner of the grid computing client application known as the "United Devices Agent", merged with another company. The merged company Univa UD no longer offers this application. WorldCommunityGrid.org was the last grid computing organization to use the agent but discontinued its use in mid 2008 in favor of BOINC. BOINC is another grid computing client but it also has a native Linux version. Therefore, there is no reason to continue to advocate this application since it is no longer available and no further updates are possible.
