In order to continue using your confidential and encrypted data in your new Privacy Suite, please proceed as follows:- Install new Steganos Privacy Suite 11(2009)/Safe 11 using the CD-ROM or the downloaded file to a separate directory.
- Import Safes from Security Suite 2007/Privacy Suite 2008:
- Open Steganos Safe from Privacy Suite 11(2009) or Safe 11(2009).
- Hover your Mouse over the Safe-Icon with the green plus and select Import
- Enter your description for this Safe (i.e. Private, Documents,...) and click OK.
- Click Browse... and open the folder with the Safe-Files
(Default for - XP: C:\Documents and Settings\%USERNAME%\Application Data\Steganos\%SAFENAME%.sle
- VISTA: C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Roaming\Steganos\%SAFENAME%.sle)
- Select the Safe-File, click Save/Open and then Next....
- Click Finish to confirm, and OK to complete the Import.
- Now your can open your Safe with your old Password again.
- Import PasswordManger on initial start:
- Open PasswordManager from Privacy Suite 11(2009).
- Select Start the software without creating a profile and click OK.
- Click File => Import... on Steganos Menu bar.
- Open the folder with the Password-file
(Default for - XP: C:\Documents and Settings\%USERNAME%\Application Data\Steganos\password.sef
- VISTA: C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Roaming\Steganos\password.sef)
Notice: It may happen, that you need to change filetype to (old) password.sef to see those files.
- Select the password.sef and click open.
- Please confirm Converting with OK.
- To convert the old database, you need to enter the old password.
- After convertion is completed you can select the profile to open (default import is password)
Please notice, once the import is complete, the predecessor will be unable to handle those files again. This means you can uninstall the predecessor then.
- Using PasswordManager 2009 Pinlist in Privacy Suite 11 (2009):
- Open PasswordManager from Privacy Suite 11(2009).
- Select Start the software without creating a profile and click OK.
- Click File => Import... on Steganos Menu bar.
- open the folder with the Password-file
(Default for - XP: C:\Documents and Settings\%USERNAME%\Application Data\Steganos\%PROFILENAME%.esf
- VISTA: C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Roaming\Steganos\%PROFILENAME%.esf)
- Select the %PROFILENAME%.esf, click open to enter the Password
Please notice, the PasswordManager from Privacy Suite 11 (2009) is equal to most current PasswordManager 2009. This means you can use both to manage your Pins and Logons.
We've discovered that the Import sometimes could fail because of special Characters in the password. If you are experiencing a refusing password during Safe/Passwordlist import, please open this safe in Predecessor again and change password to "1". After this please import this Safe/Passwordlist in Privacy Suite 11 (2009) again. Please do not forget to change your password in Privacy Suite 11 again (=> Safe => Maintenance).
It may happen, that you have to unhide Hidden system files which could be made visible in:
- Windows XP: Start => All Programs => Tools => Explorer => Menu bar "Tools" => Folderoptions =>View => Advanced Settings => scroll down to "show hidden files and folders" and uncheck "hide protected operating system files" =>Confirm with "OK" and wait a second while Windows Explorer will update the screen.
- Windows VISTA: Start => Computer => Organize => Folder- and Searchoptions => View => scroll down to show hidden files and folders" and uncheck "hide protected operating system files" =>Confirm with "OK" and wait a second while Windows Explorer will update the screen.
Encrypted files that have been created or processed with the File Manager in Steganos Security Suite or Privacy Suite can be used also with Crypt & Hide from most current Privacy Suite 11 (2009).
