Personal Vault 1.2 introduced the ability to acquire managed content from other vaults. At the same time, the number of possible concurrent connections was reduced from 3 to a single connection. If more than a single (concurrent) connection is required, consider upgrading to Altium Vault 2.0 (or later), or retaining Personal Vault 1.1.

For more information, see Centralized Environment Configuration Management. For detailed information regarding installation and licensing, see Installing & Licensing the Team Configuration Center.
  • Vault Migration Tool (1.9MB Zip)- To successfully migrate between vaults, you must be using the latest version of the Vault Migration Tool (version 1.3.0.7), Altium Personal Vault (build 1.2.30759), and Altium Vault (build 2.0.33788 or later). Ensure you have upgraded your Altium Personal Vault (if not already) from v1.1 to v1.2.

Altium Designer

To take advantage of the latest capabilities in Altium Designer, it is advised to upgrade to the latest version. Many great new features and technologies have been developed and added along the way since these previous versions of the software, as well as a myriad of enhancements to existing features, bug fixes and implementation of ideas sourced from members of the AltiumLive community. And when you do upgrade to the latest release of Altium Designer, it's highly recommended to purchase Altium Subscription for each license too. Being on subscription opens the door to a number of additional attractions, not least the ability to stay current with the software – being able to install new updates and access features and functionality as soon as they leave development. Read more about the value Altium Subscription brings here.
