Compatibility note
When using this firmware version (6.50) or future rev isions with the Encryption Kit, any key server tokens
set with an o dd number of characters for the PIN will not be totally backwards compatible in Autoloaders
or Librar
ies with code revisions 2.10, 4.00, 6.30, or 8.70 (the previous released versions). In those
cases, a token in an Autoloader or Library with 2.10, 4.00, 6.30, or 8.70 firmware revisions will be
able to accept the PIN for the token and access keys on the token, but the user will not be able to
change th
ePINonthetoken,savethekeystoafile, or restore the keys from a file until the Autoloader
or Libra
ry firmware is upgraded. Users should always upgrade to the latest version of firmware to
ensure complete compatibility.
