- Starting with Miami 2.1 and MiamiSSL (see the separate
- announcements on the Miami mailing list or on my web page),
- new keyfiles (version 2) for registered users are supported.
- The upgrade from the old keyfile format to the new keyfiles
- is FREE OF CHARGE for ALL registered users.
-
- At the moment the new keyfiles are only needed if you want to
- use MiamiSSL (Secure Socket Layer, see the separate announcements
- on the Miami mailing list or on my web page). If you just want
- to use Miami 2.1 (without MiamiSSL) then you do NOT need to
- upgrade your keyfiles yet.
-
- In particular, if you are currently using Miami 2.0n or earlier
- then you can just download Miami 2.1, install it "over" your old
- Miami installation, and continue to use your old keyfiles. You do
- NOT have to revert to "unregistered operation" to upgrade your
- keyfiles.
-
- However Miami 2.1 is the LAST version to support the old keyfile
- format, and the NEXT version of Miami WILL NEED the new keyfiles,
- so if you plan on continuing to upgrade Miami then you SHOULD
- upgrade your keyfiles to the new format some time after
- installing Miami 2.1, before the next version of Miami is
- released.
-
- The "About" window of Miami 2.1 tells you which keyfile version
- you have (1 for old, 2 for new). I started shipping keyfiles in
- the new format on April 21st, 1997 to new registered users. If
- Miami 2.1 tells you that your keyfile version is "2" then you
- DO NOT need to upgrade.
-
- If you still have the old format then you can upgrade to the new
- format by executing the fourth step in MiamiRegister (from the
- Miami 2.1 archive): "Upgrade keyfiles from Miami < 2.1". The
- program explains how the upgrade takes place. It is very similar
- to the procedure for your initial registration, and you will have
- to wait for an email response from me to get your new keyfile.
- In the meantime you can use Miami 2.1, but not MiamiSSL, with your
- old keyfiles.
