I had been running the self server (1.4/1.5) and I see things have changed quite a bit while I was gone. So I am looking for pointers on what would be my best plan of attack to get back into the current version (3.x) of the self server and try and salvage what I had for apps, way back then (at least they were pretty simple over-all). Any good how-tos or anything, what in the database would be preserved (users etc), what would be lost, The API Key brings up another subject, upgrades / membership or such was just rolling out ... so now what do I need to know, etc. etc. I guess I am just looking for any, or as much, information before I wipe it all (after a backup) and start out from scratch again. Thanks in advance for any replies or messages and it is good to be back. Hope to have updated apps as soon as I can and I have plans for a few more in the near future (unfortunately small market area though).

Copied the new version, did the upgrade and lost my API Key :-( Went back to the old setup again. Now I can still work on the apps. Any idea people?

My account is from back before any kind of membership at all, so I think that is where it stems from. Thank you all for the replies Comments I think the issue is being taken care of by the BT team.
