Upgrading from ActivID CMS 5.10 or Higher

Important: Read this section before upgrading to ActivID CMS 6.0 from ActivID CMS 5.10 or higher.

ActivID CMS 6.0 only supports upgrades from ActivID CMS 5.10 or higher. If you intend to upgrade from an earlier version, you will need to upgrade to ActivID CMS 5.10 or higher first. For details, refer to the relevant ActivID documentation.

Note:
  • The installer backs up the existing ActivID CMS folder to the Backup folder under the existing Credential Management System folder. Any files that differ from the standard ones are kept.

  • If you had created any additional files (for example, additional plugins), they will be restored automatically.

  • A log file listing the differences between the previously installed settings files and the new installation settings is generated at the end of installation.

  • After an upgrade of CMS, the CMS extension in Edge or Chrome may not work correctly. In this case, cleaning the browser cache could solve the issue.
