Key License Upgrade
Overview
KVM ACCESS allows ecustomers to update their authentication keys to reflect an increase to their
number of licenses. Contact APC to purchase the 1024 key license upgrade (SEKVM1024N).
Note: A separate order must be processed for each key.
To upgrade the key:
• A Windows-based Key Status Utility is used to extract the key's information and write it to a Key
Information Data File. The key information data file is then used in a a browser session to
generate a license upgrade file. After the license upgrade file has been generated, the Key Status
Utility is used again to write the upgrade file's information to the license key.
• The customer provides APC with the key information data file (extracted with the Key Status
Utility) which the APC uses to generate the customer's key license upgrade file. APC then returns
the key license upgrade file to the customer which the customer uses with the Key Status Utility to
upgrade the Authentication Key's license information.
Upgrade Procedure
An upgrade procedure can be performed by APC. The customer must email the key information data file
to the APC ([e-mail]) to receive a key upgrade file in return.
Preliminary Steps. To perform the upgrade, the customer must create a Key Information Data File.
1. 1. With the authentication key plugged in, run the Key Status Utility (AuthKeyStatus.exe).
2. 2. In the License Upgrade panel of the dialog box that opens, click Save to create a Key
Information Data File (KeyUpload.dat).
Note: The Key Information Data File is created in the same directory in which the Key
Status Utility resides.
After the Key Information Data File is created, send a copy to APC.
