5.4 Update a key

Some actions in the app require the physical iLOQ S5 key to be updated. These can be, for example, making a reservation to a common space or service, blocking a lost key or updating changes to access areas made by your locking system administrator. With this function, users can update access rights to their key(s) by holding the key next to the phone. Users must hold and keep the key close to the NFC antenna of their phone until the update has been completed. Instructions are shown on the phone screen.

Note: Keys are automatically updated every time they are used with iLOQ Online readers for opening doors. The updated keys also deliver the new information for the iLOQ lock cylinders that are not wired.
