# Upgrading a LinkManager 7 certificate to LinkManager 8

## Summary:

Upgrading from a LinkManager 7 certificate to a LinkManager 8 certificate quite simply entails unticking the "LinkManager 7.x compatible certificate" option on the account and renewing the certificate (on 9.4 and earlier) or simply sending a new certificate if the GateManager is running version 9.5.

[9.4 or earlier](https://kb.secomea.com/v1/docs/upgrading-a-linkmanager-7-certificate-to-linkmanager-8#gatemanager-94-or-earlier)
