- Statement
- Help Grandfathered and exempted tables (last_updated 2026-03-12): Grandfathered table entitlements preserve prior custom-table entitlements through license migration — “This one-time process ensures that custom tables that currently exist in a production instance don't count against your new custom table entitlements.” “Grandfathered custom tables can't be transferred, reused, or otherwise classified as another custom table type. If you delete a grandfathered custom table, you can't classify any other custom table as a grandfathered custom table to take its place.” “Exempted tables are custom tables that do not count towards your subscription entitlements.” Complete exempt definition is in the Custom Table Guide legal schedule (https://www.servicenow.com/content/dam/servicenow-assets/public/en-us/doc-type/legal/custom-table-guide.pdf); the Help page alone does not give the full exempt list. “Legal schedules are enforced based on when the contract is executed.”
