# Upgrading from an older version

Are you receiving an error messaging stating that your database is in an older format and must first be updated? Never fear, and updater is here!

Update from versions 4.5.3 through 4.6.3 to current

1. Choose Update Old Database from the File menu.
2. Click the Select button and choose your old database file.
3. Enter the Login and Password for access to that database (if applicable).
4. Click Update.
5. A new database will open with your updated services, choose Save Database from the File menu and place it on your hard disk.
6. If you wish this database to open instead of the blank Primary Database first created when you launched the new version, see the section entitled "Automatically open an alternate database on launch".

Unfortunately, if you were using an ancient version from before August 2003, the update process is going to be quite a bit more difficult for you.

Update from versions 1.0 through 4.5.2 to current

1. Open your database with the old version of Password Retriever.
2. Choose Export from the File or Services menu.
3. Specify TAB as your field delimiter.
4. Specify OTHER as your record delimiter and input "|*|*|" (without the quotes) into the text field which appeared to the right.
5. Click Export.
6. Quit the old version of Password Retriever.
7. Follow the instructions on how to Import services from a text file, and use the same delimiters.
