Creating a new version of a key

To create a version of a key

Call the I_C_SetKeyParameters API and and pass I_T_KeyVersion and I_T_ KeyParameter_Version_Increment.

Here,

• I_T_KeyVersion is the I_T_KeyParameterTypeEnum.

• I_T_KeyParameter_Version_Increment is the I_T_KeyParameterValueEnum.

Example

rc = I_C_SetKeyParameter(sess, my_versioned_key, I_T_KeyVersion, I_T_KeyParameter_Version_Increment)

Note

You cannot have more active versions than indicated in the Number of Active Versions Allowed for a Key field on the Key and Policy Configuration page on the Management Console. Similarly, a key cannot have more than 4000 versions regardless of their state.
