KeyAccess Version Control

While it is possible to upgrade to a new version of the KeyServer without forcing your users to upgrade to a new version of KeyAccess, each new KeyAccess version introduces new features and contains all KeyAccess bug fixes to date. You may want your users to have recent versions of KeyAccess so that they can benefit from these features and fixes. KeyAccess versions are controlled in the dialog pictured below.

By typing a value into the text boxes you can configure which versions of KeyAccess are up-to-date, out of date, or obsolete. Users who have obsolete versions of KeyAccess in their System Folder are told that they must upgrade in order to use controlled programs. They will not able to use controlled programs until they get a new version.

Users of older but still valid versions of KeyAccess are told that they should upgrade to the newer version. Most controlled programs are still usable, but if a program requires the services of a newer version of KeyAccess, users are told that the program can't be run.

Note: all K2 features that depend on the computer node ID will be un-available to clients using KeyAccess versions prior to 5.2 - these old clients will not appear in the Computers window but they can be seen in the Users window when connected. By default K2 is installed as shown above - connections from KeyAccess versions prior to 5.2 are prohibited.
