Keyscan System VII

dormakaba’s Keyscan System VII access control management software has entered End-of-Life status as of June 30, 2021. dormakaba will no longer sell or support the System VII software.

Over the years, our technicians have mastered the intricacies of System VII and currently work tirelessly to maintain several large deployments without dormakaba's support. However, this task is becoming increasingly challenging due to the aging infrastructure.

Many required components are also EOL and unavailable meaning any replacement components are often repaired or refurbished in-house and no warranty or guarantees are supplied. Additionally, many IT professionals will refuse to allow systems to exist on their networks that are of the vintage that allow the database and control software for System VII to run. This is often due to the lack of security updates and support from the OS manufacturers.

All System VII customers are encouraged to contact us today to learn more about the recommended Keyscan Aurora Upgrade Paths and Migration Plans to ensure your Keyscan investment continues to provide you the access control security you rely on. 

How this impacts all customers using System VII 

Keyscan System VII-based access control systems have shown far greater longevity and performance than the industry average for access control systems. However, there will come a time when maintenance is necessary.

IMPORTANT NOTICE 

Technology of today has outpaced System VII’s software and hardware capability and compatibility. Newer operating systems, integrations; system flexibility; and security threats – to name a few – have evolved considerably. 

Legacy operating systems and hardware such as Windows XP, Vista, and Windows 7 (among others) will not support today’s technology and today’s available software and hardware technology will not function using legacy technology.  

This can present a considerable challenge when it comes to performing maintenance or repairs when needed. 

Longevity rests with Keyscan Aurora

Keyscan Aurora is the solution to keep your Keyscan investment performing for many years to come. But, it requires some planning discussions. 

Keyscan Aurora is built to accommodate today’s newer Operating Systems and will give you immediate benefits including many years of system longevity as well as increased data and system security along with a host of new and vastly improved integrations that are well beyond System VII’s capability. 

Keyscan Aurora software was engineered to function with the latest operating systems and maintains an unmatched security platform, coupled with strength and flexibility to outperform even with today’s abundance of integration options.
