Starting with version 3.2-156 we use a new public key, because the previous key was expiring.
We provide here only the new key, as old client versions are nevertheless not provided anymore. So no need for the old public key.

Bugfixes

10/May/2024: Version 1.1 released

Improved error handling: Issues with the subscription or API key are directly displayed in the output now. So there is no need to dive into the client log file for these issues anymore.

21/December/2023: Version 1.0 released

First publicly available release of Admin Companion client.

See installation procedure further down on this page.

Remarks for version upgrade

To upgrade the client from an older version, you can use the same procedure as for a fresh installation. The client will be updated automatically.
Important: If you manually modified your configuration file (e.g., to set an API key), be sure to back it up before upgrading, as the installation will overwrite it. After the upgrade, you can restore it to your configuration file.
If you originally entered your API key during the installation process (e.g., on Debian/Ubuntu systems), it will be preserved and automatically applied in the new configuration file.
