Updating Earlier Software Versions

(Versions 7.3.5 and earlier)

  1. Confirm your Maintenance Subscription
    Determine your Maintenance Expiry Date - confirm your license expiry includes the Upgrade version's release date. Your ownership of Password Server is perpetual, but the service plan is annual.
    • Version 7.0.1 or Later:
      • Note: New License keys will not work in older versions (6 or lower).
      • License key formats changed in 7.0.1 to 20 character format, instead of a paragraph of characters.
      • Enter your License Key on this page and click Upgrade/Renew. If your subscription is expired, renew it before you continue to the steps below.
    • Version 6.4.13 or Earlier:
      • Note: Old License keys will not work in newer versions (7.0.1 or higher)
      • Also, ensure the new upgrade version was released (release dates) before that expiry. 
        A new license may need to be purchased to proceed with upgrading, Contact Us for a quote.

          • Note: Version 7 is a significant update and will take some CPU cycles to process.
            Monitor progress by watching log file details. If for any reason there is a delay with no progress for an hour, do this: Stop, Uninstall the Old Version, Reboot your server, then re-try the install.
      • Otherwise, Convert your license key:
        1. Get your product key - from the confirmation email (you received after your original purchase)
          • Note: If that's inaccessible look on your server, copy the contents of this file:
          • %WINDIR%System32config
          • .systemprofileAppDataLocalIsolatedStorage
          • .RANDOM_DIR_NAMERANDOM_DIR_NAMERANDOM_DIR_NAME
          • .AssemFilesKeyFile.txt
        2. Paste the key into the field marked Old Key on this page, then click Upgrade
        3. Copy the new key that appears; you'll need to enter into from the License tab after you upgrade. This key is also sent to the email address that was supplied when your company first purchased Password Server.
          • Skip to Stable / Latest versions
            • Note: Version 7 is a significant update and will take some CPU cycles to process
