Transfer RSA SecurID Tokens

If you used version 4.0 of the SecurID desktop application, your software tokens are transferred automatically after you install application version 4.1. If the database where your tokens were stored is password protected, you are prompted to enter the device password to complete the token transfer.

If you used version 3.0.7 of the SecurID desktop application with a single token that you did not assign a password, your token is automatically transferred after you install application version 4.1. If you used multiple tokens with version 3.0.7, you may need to use the Token Transfer utility to transfer them.

Note: You cannot transfer tokens stored on a smart card.

To transfer tokens with the Token Transfer utility:

  1. Click Start > All Programs > RSA > RSA SecurID Token > Token Transfer Utility.

  2. Do one of the following:

  1. Click OK.
    If your tokens are not password protected, the transfer occurs immediately. If your tokens are password protected, you are prompted for the password for each protected token.

  2. If prompted, enter the token password.

  3. Click OK.

Note: Version 3.0.7 of the application refers to a token password as a "passphrase." If prompted for a password, enter the token passphrase.
