Updating Earlier Software Versions

Website Documentation for your KeePass client and Pleasant Password Server

(Versions 7.9.27 and earlier)

Step 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.x.x:

    • 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.
    • Note: These newer License keys will not work in older versions (6 or lower).

  • 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.
