Upgrading HYPR Passwordless

Passwordless for Windows

Application Upgrade

To upgrade from an older version of the HYPR Passwordless client to the latest without removing the current device registration, use the msiexec.exe command.

Example Update

msiexec.exe /q /i WorkforceAccess.msi

The above command will replace all necessary binaries and update the product version without removing existing device registration.

Silent Operations Usage

Either a command-line prompt or Windows PowerShell must be open as an administrator to perform all silent operations (install, upgrade, remove). Otherwise, a silent operation will not change the target machine.

By default, silent install will reboot the target machine. If reboot is unnecessary at installation time, the /norestart option may be used in addition to the standard upgrade command such as:

C:\download directory\msiexec.exe /q /norestart /i WorkforceAccess.msi

The Installation Wizard Does Not Update Software

Running the installation wizard is the same as a fresh install. Upgrading should be done via command line using the optional /q option for a silent install.

Upgrade vs. Install

Steps to upgrade the application are the same as for the installation, but there's no need to update the info.plist file - all configurations, such as RP URL, RP APP, etc., will be overwritten during the upgrade.
