Hiya, so as the subject states I upgraded from RDM Free Edition 2022.2.18.0 to RDM 2023.2.28.0 and now it says Unable to open old database says wrong password, but i can open the old database in 2022.2.18 still having them both installed?

Dear Robert,

Thank you for reaching out to us regarding this matter.

To assist you better, could you please open the Windows file explorer and navigate to %localappdata%/Devolutions? Kindly verify if there are multiple folders named RemoteDesktopManager.

Your database is named connexion.db, and it should be located in one of these folders. Can you please confirm if your database is in the correct folder?

Please let us know if you require any further assistance.

Best regards,

Patrick Ouimet

Hey Patrick,

Folders =
Install
RemoteDesktopManager
RemoteDesktopManagerFree (i reinstalled to test if it could open the db still)

Connection.db is located on a network location, RDM cannot open it, but RDMF can..

Hello Robert,

Thank you for your time today.

As mentioned in your case.
Your issue was related to an older version that could share the connections.db through the network connection.
Since 2022.3, this option is not available anymore, and you need an advanced data source to share your database.

Best regards,

Patrick Ouimet
