Note: On opening the SFA Premier Configuration Utility will verify that you have Premier Server 2019.1 or higher currently installed. It requires Administrator rights.

   • 8 to 16-character length
   • At least one uppercase letter
   • At least one special character
3. Click Apply which will write the new password to the server registry. This creates two .REG files in the same directory as the SFA Premier Configuration Utility. These files are for later use on existing Client machines.

   Note: New client installations will install with the updated password.

On Existing Sage Fixed Assets Premier client systems:
