@Jonathan In v6, which is in beta testing now, you are able to change the template used for your records. It won't be changed in v5, but it will be when v6 is released to the public.

@Albo Thank you for your response in trying to help with a workaround!

That's great to hear! I keep the list of beta testers in our email support system. Can you send an email to "support@msevensoftware.com" real quick?

No problem at all Rick, and thank you for deleting the duplicate posts! Would you be interested in becoming a beta tester for v6 by chance?

Hi Rich,

Thank you for contacting us! Unfortunately, we weren't able to get mSecure 6 released by the end 2021 like we had hoped, but has been and is our main focus. I have been saying this for awhile now, but we are very close to the first beta release which means the full release is not far behind. We are now in the process of putting in final polishes to the app, and as always, there is a lot of testing taking place.

Regarding features, while I can't tell you everything about the feature set, I can tell you that v5 users will not be loosing any functionality they currently have in mSecure 5. I think it would be safe to call those the "standard" features, and you will have access to them after upgrading to v6 without further cost. However, there are going to be newer features that will require a purchase in order to use them. A couple of those features are cross-account sharing and customization of the new iOS filter bar.

The most important thing is, none of the features you currently rely on will be taken away in v6. As a v5 paid user, you will have access to all of the current features in mSecure 5.

Hi Steven,

To be clear, existing records will be able to have their types changed in mSecure 6. So if you find yourself in a situation where it would be helpful to use a different template for an existing record, you will be able to change it in the new app.

We are very close to making the first beta release available. The Mac and iOS apps are feature complete, and the Windows app is not far behind. We're just in the process of doing internal testing before the beta is released. Our plans are to release to the public before the end of the year.

@Steven

I'm not sure why you think we have missed the point. In mSecure 6, you will be able to change the type template your record is using after the record is created. Is there something I wrote that makes you think it's not going to work that way in the new version of the app? If so, I'll try to address it and explain it more detail if needed.

@Kristine

I'm not sure if something was written in a confusing way in a past post from one our support resps, but all along we have understood this feature request to mean that after a record is saved you would like to change the type template for the record. In mSecure 6, you will be able to do this. So for all of your records that are currently stored in mSecure, when mSecure is installed, you will be able to change their types.

@Aaron

While the full details for the mSecure 6 pricing model have not been released, I can tell you that licensed mSecure 5 users will not have to pay an upgrade fee to continue using all of the features in mSecure 5. On top of that, there will be upgrades that come for free to mSecure 5 users, but there will also be some premium features that will require a purchase to use.

In short, licensed mSecure 5 users will get an upgrade at no cost, but not all features will be available without an extra purchase. We plan to send out email communication to our customers as we get closer to the mSecure 6 release, and it will outline in detail what to expect for the new version.
