Migration Guide: From version 5.3.3 or below to 6.x.x

As part of our continued commitment to delivering a secure, efficient, and feature-rich experience, we are transitioning all customers from the legacy DatAnchor platform (versions 5.3.3 and below) to our new FenixPyre platform. This migration ensures you have access to the latest features, performance improvements, and ongoing technical support.

Important Date: End of Support for Legacy Versions (≤ 5.3.3): April 30, 2025

What’s Changing?

🚫 End of Support for Legacy Versions

• Effective April 30, 2025, versions 5.3.3 and lower will no longer be supported.

• Updates or changes to sharing integrations will not be available on the legacy tenant.

Why This Migration Is Necessary

• Enhanced Reliability & Performance: Version 5.3.3 was released in September 2023. Over the past many months, we've significantly enhanced our platform's speed, stability, and security. As a provider of file security solutions, we strongly recommend keeping your FenixPyre client updated to the latest version to ensure optimal protection and performance.

• Continued Innovation: We've introduced many exciting features, including Bring Your Own Key (BYOK), Single Sign-On (SSO), SCIM support, FenixPyre Secure Sharing (CMMC Compliant), and Group Support, enabling you to benefit from continuous enhancements and advanced capabilities.

• Addressing Critical Issues: During internal testing, we identified a critical issue that could cause system crashes on Windows devices running certain March 2025 updates in combination with Microsoft Defender for Endpoint. Upgrading to the latest version proactively resolves this issue, enhancing system stability and ensuring reliable performance.
