Older versions of the Kerio Administration Console (1.x, distributed along with 5.x server products) followed a different method of bookmarks storing. The current version of the Administration Console (2.x) cannot use these bookmarks directly. However, corresponding login data may be imported and new bookmarks can be created out of the old ones.

To import and convert old bookmarks, use the Tools / Import old bookmarks option in the main menu of the Administration Console.

First, Administration Console searches a file which includes old bookmarks (_admin.bkm) in the home directory of the current user. If the file is found, the Administration Console checks whether it is encrypted and password-protected. If so, password is required.

The Bookmark Import dialog is opened upon a successful login.

Figure 3.12. Importing old bookmarks

All bookmarks defined in the older version of the Administration Console are listed both in the list of bookmarks and on the toolbar. Select bookmarks to be exported to the new version and click on theImport button. If the process is completed successfully, imported bookmarks are added to the list in the main window of the Administration Console.

Note: You cannot connect to the server defined by an imported bookmark unless the corresponding server application has been updated to the version 6.x or 7.x. It is not possible to connect to previous versions (5.x).
