Installing or Updating??

The install instructions are part of this section and require a link to the installer to be provided from Arts Management Systems.

If you already have Theatre Manager, please refer to the link to find out how to get the latest updater.

In either case, once you have the installer or the updater, you can follow the instructions for Macintosh or Windows.

If you are upgrading the database from version 7 or 8, you simply run the latest installer. If appropriate, this will automatically generate a random new PCI seed key and re-encrypt credit cards using that key (unless they have been previously shredded). In the process, this destroys any previous crypto keys per PCI DSS standard 3.6. Refer to re-encrypting cards if you wish to do this manually.

Upgrading from version 6 requires upgrading the database to version 7 and then following all remaining instructions. Our PABP 1.4 certification covers this process for the few remaining venues.

Theatre Manager has never stored CVV2, Track II or any other non PCI compliant information so removal is not necessary per PCI DSS standard 3.3. Version 8 was certified PABP 1.4 compliant. This audit provided verifiability that there was no CVV2 data. Upgrades to versions beyond version 8 will not have this data.
