Downgrading to an Older Version of Connection Manager

Older versions of the Connection Manager installer are unable to downgrade through the installer UI. As such, users wishing to downgrade need to manually uninstall the application prior to installing the new application version.

In addition, users using Delinea Vault Connections, Local Connections, and Custom Settings require additional steps to ensure a smoother downgrade experience.

Delinea Vault Connections

When downgrading to an older version of Connection Manager with connections from a Delinea Vault, please authenticate to the vault to retrieve the connections.

Delinea Vault credentials will need to be readded to access these connections.

Local Connections

When downgrading with local connections, first export the local connections as JSON using the steps included in Exporting Connections.

Please ensure to keep this file in a secure location as credentials are not encrypted.

Next, implement the Connection Manager downgrade and reimport the local connections using the steps from Importing JSON Files.

Custom Settings

While the Application Configuration File must be readjusted for each version change, User Configuration File for Windows can be manually copied and work as expected.
