MSL4048 FIRMWARE v7.70 RELEASE NOTES (AK380-96012, May 2011)

Compatibility note
When using firmware version 6.70 or newer revisions with the Encryption Kit, any key server tokens
set with an odd number of characters for the PIN will not be totally backwards compatible in
Autoloaders or Libraries with code revisions 2.10, 4.00, 6.30, or 8.70. 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 the PIN
on the token, save the keys to a file, or restore the keys from a file until the Autoloader or Library
firmware is upgraded. Users should always upgrade to the latest version of firmware to ensure complete
compatibility.
