Cautions and Disclaimers
- This document shows how to update from DSS V8.0.4 to DSS V8.1
- Please note that the following instructions only apply to DSS Baseline. If you are using a customized version of DSS, that will be a case-by-case discussion if you want the update. Please consult Tech Support for more information
- Only Baseline DSS Express and DSS Professional can be upgraded in this way
- Because DSS is Server-client structure, you need to upgrade DSS Server before upgrading DSS Client
Step by Step Instructions

3. Insert the Login Password of DSS Client and Encryption Password twice.
In the end, Click on OK and DSS will export the Backup File automatically.
