Migrating from SecureAccess 2.0 to SecureAccess 3.0 on a Mac
How do I transfer the data from SecureAccess 2.0 to SecureAccess 3.0?

SecureAccess 3.0 is a fully redesigned password protection and data encryption application which uses a new encryption engine. There is no direct upgrade installation available. You will need to migrate to the new SecureAccess V3 by performing the following steps:

  1. Launch SecureAccess V2 and copy all the data from the Vault to your computer hard drive or another flash drive.
  2. Delete the SecureAccess V2 Vault and Application files.
  3. Install SecureAccess V3 and create a new Vault
  4. Copy all your data back into the new Vault
