If you have issues upgrading on your own or if you run into issues, email us at uwfithelp@uw.edu and we’ll offer assistance, but here are the steps to get SecureCRT updated to the latest version:
- Before beginning, close any existing open “SecureCRT” windows or sessions
- Go to https://itconnect.uw.edu/wares/uware/securecrt-software/ and click on “DOWNLOAD SECURECRT”
- Scroll Down and click on “SecureCRT 64-bit Downloads” under Windows.
This will download a .exe Installer file, which you should run after the download is completed.NOTE

- Agree to the Terms and Conditions.
- Leave the Profile Option set to “Common profile (affects all users)” default option. This should keep your settings intact.
- Select “Complete” as the Set Up type.
- Click Next, I recommend these two boxes remain checked.

However our record may be out of date if there is known update or changes to Keynes Server. Please notify uwfithelp@uw.edu if you notice a mismatch. - Optionally: Without closing the existing tab or session. Click to Open the “Session Manager” tab on the left-hand side of the window and double click on “keynes.u.washington.edu” and click “Accept & Save”.
