Overview

If you are currently using an ID TECH SREDKey 2 card reader device, you may need to update your device's firmware prior to August 9th, 2022.

If your device is running a firmware version prior to v1.01.008.0392.S, your device's current encryption key certificates will expire on August 9th, 2022. As a result, the device will no longer function, unless you update the firmware to v1.01.008.0392.S or higher.

For detailed instructions, see the ID TECH SREDKey 2 Firmware Update Guide. 

To check your device's firmware version, disconnect and reconnect the device. The current firmware version is displayed briefly when the device powers on. 

If the firmware version is prior to v1.01.008.0392.S, you must update your device. If your device is already running a later version of the firmware, then no action is required.

What do I need to do?

Disconnect and reconnect your device to view the firmware version displayed during startup. If the firmware version is prior to v1.01.008.0392.S, you must update your device. If your device is already running a later version of the firmware, then no action is required.
