SecureAccess 3.0 is a fully redesigned password protection and data encryption application which uses a new encryption engine. Due to this we will need to install SecureAccess 3.0 and move the data from SecureAccess 1.0 to SecureAccess 3.0. After the data has been moved to SecureAccess 3.0 we can simply delete SecureAccess 1.0. In the migration method explained below the data is moved from SecureAccess 1.0 to the computer and then from the computer to SecureAccess 3.0. The data can be securely erased from the computer when adding to SecureAccess 3.0 if you choose.
STEP 1 - Copy the data from SecureAccess 1.0 to your computer
1. Open SecureAccess 1.0 highlight the files you would like to copy to the computer, right-click the files and select Restore.
2. Choose a location to save the files and click OK.
