7.3 Upgrading from Earlier Versions to SecureLogin 8.0

To upgrade entirely to SecureLogin 8.0, you must uninstall all versions from 3.0.x to 7.0.

NOTE:If you are using the Mozilla Firefox browser, you might encounter problems when upgrading SecureLogin 6.x with Firefox 1.0.x or earlier.

Install or upgrade to SecureLogin by using Mozilla Firefox 1.5 or later. With this, the SLoMoz.xpi extension is automatically installed and configured.

If a user wants to continue using Mozilla Firefox 1.0.x or earlier, then the SLoMoz.xpi extension installed with SecureLogin must be uninstalled and the SLoMoz.xpi extension file of the SecureLogin installer package must be re-installed.

To upgrade entirely to SecureLogin 8.0, you must uninstall all versions from 3.0.x to 7.0.

7.3.1 Restriction on Upgrades

The only restriction that SecureLogin upgrade applies is for mobile users. When upgrading users who log in to multiple workstations, conflicts occur if the user accesses workstations that are upgraded and those that are not upgraded.

After the user logs in to a workstation that is upgraded, the user data is updated and they cannot subsequently use SecureLogin on a workstation still running the old version.

To avoid this situation and assure a smooth transition, use a migration plan. For more information on a migration plan, see Section 7.9, Developing a Migration Plan.

NOTE:When upgrading SecureLogin from a previous version, make sure you have the same version running on the administrative workstation. For example, if you have SecureLogin 8.0 installed on your administration workstation, you cannot administer data in the 7.0 version mode.

7.3.2 Upgrading to SecureLogin 8.0 from SecureLogin 7.0

To upgrade from SecureLogin to previous versions:

  1. On the Windows Start menu, click Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs.

  2. Click SecureLogin on 7.0, then click Remove.

  3. If you are prompted to restart your workstation, click Yes to restart the workstation, or click No to restart later.

    SecureLogin is now uninstalled.

  4. Before installing the new version of SecureLogin, log out and log in again.
