Since the key ring is encrypted with master keys, changing the master keys requires an update to the key ring table. This is performed by clicking 'Set New Master Keys' on the Master Keys page.

The following steps describe how to modify the master keys:

1. Under the AudienceView directory, go to the ..\libs directory.
2. Click the EncryptGui icon.
   
3. Run the application.
   The AudienceView EncryptGui window will open.
   
4. Click 'Old Master Keys: Blank'.
   A pop-up window will display:
   
5. Enter and verify 'Old Master Key' fields with what is currently entered for Master Key 1.
6. Click 'OK'.
   A second pop-up window (same as first) will display:
7. Enter and verify 'Old Master Key' fields with what is currently entered for Master Key 2.
8. Click 'OK'.
9. Ensure that you are connected (via the Options tab).
10. Click 'Apply New Master Keys'.
    The master key values are now replaced with the new ones.
