10 Media replacement
10.1 Smartphone replacement
The smartphone replacement simplifies the change from one smartphone to another, for
example, when purchasing a new device.
With smartphone replacement, all AirKey authorisations and settings (except the PIN code
and the local Hands-free settings) of the existing smartphone are transferred to the new
smartphone.
The replacement can be executed both from Android to iOS and vice versa.
The replacement can be started either by an administrator or directly from the smartphone.
Here in the documentation, the "old" smartphone is called the source medium and the
"new" smartphone is called the target medium.
The source medium is automatically deactivated after the replacement has
been completed. If the source medium is no longer functional or available,
the blacklist of the affected locking components must be updated. Only then
the security of the system is re-established.
If authorisations are also transferred to the target medium, a KeyCredit is
also deducted from the existing credit. If no KeyCredits are available, the
replacement can only be completed once there is a credit available again.
10.1.1 Starting replacement from smartphone
If the source medium is still working, registered and not deactivated, the smartphone
replacement can be started directly from the source medium.
> Start the AirKey app.
> Tap on Settings → Replace smartphone.
> Confirm with OK.
