Upgrading from Synthesis 11.0.

1
Read Me First

Starting in Version 11.1.1, Synthesis desktop applications use a new encryption algorithm for improved security.
In most cases, the upgrade will automatically update your product to use the new encryption. This document
provides instructions for special circumstances that require additional action.

Error Occurred During the Update (ReliaSoft-Hosted Licensing Only)

If you are using ReliaSoft-hosted licensing, the software needs to communicate with ReliaSofts secure license
server to complete the update. If you do not have an active Internet connection, or if you encounter issues with
the firewall, you will need to manually reactivate your product(s). For alternative ways to reactivate, see
http://www.synthesisplatform.net/licensing.htm#problems.

Running in FIPS Mode (Locally Hosted Licensing Only)

If you are using locally hosted licensing and your organization requires FIPS 140-2 (Federal Information
Processing Standard) mode to be enabled on Windows, you will require a new license file (*.lic) and license
settings file (*.prnrsl). Complete the web-based form at http://reliasoft.com/support/lmx_request.htm. We will
send you the new files and instructions. (The instructions are also available at:
http://www.synthesisplatform.net/licensing_locally_hosted.htm.)

Unable to Read Connection Files (*.rserp) and Locator Links (*.rsll11)

Synthesis enterprise repository connection files and locator links that were created prior to Version 11.1.1 use
the old encryption and they cannot be read if you have FIPS 140-2 mode enabled on Windows.
To create a new connection file, see:
http://help.synthesisplatform.net/weibull_alta11/connecting_to_an_existing_enterprise_repository.htm

To create new locator links, see:

http://help.synthesisplatform.net/weibull_alta11/synthesis_locator_links.htm.

If your organization has implemented the Synthesis Enterprise Portal (SEP) website and you have published
analysis summaries, you will need to republish to refresh the links that open the original analysis (e.g., Open in
Weibull++). See http://help.synthesisplatform.net/weibull_alta11/publishing_to_sep.htm.
