Upgrading a license key

GFI products have two methods to implement licensing:

  • Via GFI Account
  • Via license key

Products that use a license key require a key upgrade when upgrading to a new major version. Clients that have a valid SMA (Software Maintenance Agreement) are eligible for a free upgrade.

NOTE

Once a key has been upgraded, it cannot be downgraded using the GFI Accounts Portal. If you need to downgrade a key, contact the GFI Sales team.

To upgrade the license key for your clients:

  1. Login to the GFI Accounts Portal.
  2. Go to Manage > Licenses.
  3. Select the key you want to upgrade and click Purchase.
