Upgrading to a New Version of RLM
#################################

If you have previously integrated RLM into your product and wish to upgrade to a new RLM version,
follow these steps:

* First, Download the new RLM kit from the Reprise website - see details in :ref:`installing-rlm`.
* Then, unpack the kit and install. See details in :ref:`installing-rlm`.
* Next, copy the following 3 files from your old kit:

.. list-table::
		:widths: 25 75
		:header-rows: 1

		* - Filename
		  - 
		* - src/rlm_pubkey.c
		  - Copy this file. Do not use a new public/private key set from the installation.
		* - src/rlm_privkey.c
		  - Copy this file. Do not use a new public/private key set from the installation.
		* - src/rlm_isv_config.c
		  - Copy this file. Unless you want to change the configuration of RLM for this version.

* You will have received an email from Reprise Software with your activation key and instructions
  for creating your new license (**license_to_run.h**). You only need to do this if you are upgrading to
  a new major version of RLM (e.g., from v13.x to v14.x), otherwise your old license_to_run.h will
  work.
* Edit the following 2 files in the new kit:

.. list-table::
		:widths: 25 75
		:header-rows: 1

		* - Filename
		  - 
		* - src/license_to_run.h
		  - Modify this to install the new RLM license you activated from the Reprise Software website, 
		    or use your old one if you are on the same major RLM version.
		* - platform/makefile
		  - Modify the **ISV=** line to contain your ISV name (always required on Windows - this step 
		    is done as part of the INSTALL process on Unix)

* Finally, run **make** (or **nmake**) in the kit binary directory, and your RLM libraries, ISV server,
  rlmsign binary and activation binaries are ready to use.
