End of support for SWIFT Token Client version 4.1.0 and lower
The latest and recommended version of the 3SKey software is Swift Token Client 4.2.1.
Versions 4.2.0 or 4.2.1 are required to use the new token model 5110+ which will be released later in 2025 (see Supported token models). Versions 4.2.0 or 4.2.1 also support the current token model 5110. If you have installed version 4.2.0 we recommend that you update to version 4.2.1 which brings further enhancements. For more information, refer to the 3SKey Token Software Installation Guide.
The version 4.1.0 of the Swift Token Client currently remains supported with token model 5110, but you will need to upgrade to version 4.2.0 or higher to use the future token model. Refer to the Supported token models page for more information.
