As per Salesforce, Of course you can continue to maintain your existing credentials. Also effective Sept. 14, 2015 the Salesforce Certified Force.com Developer and Salesforce Certified Force.com Advanced Developer exams will no longer be available for new applicants to register.

On 13th of December, 2015 I got a chance to appear in Salesforce Certified Platform Developer I and II exam. Of course I got PASSED otherwise I would not dare to write this post with my experience! As an existing Salesforce Certified Force.com Advanced Developer, I appeared in Transition exam instead of Full Salesforce Certified Platform Developer I and Salesforce Certified Platform Developer II exams.
