Troubleshoot Upgrading Error

If you encounter an error after clicking the Upgrade Course button, it is most likely that the developer keys for Canvas Credentials need to be turned on. You need a Canvas Admin to adjust the developer key settings.

In Account Navigation, click the Developer Keys link [1]. To view inherited keys, click the Inherited tab [2].

Scroll through the list and ensure that the Canvas Credentials API key toggle is set to ON as well as the key for the regional Canvas Credentials server you are planning to connect to (US, EU, CA, or AU) [3]. 

Note: If you cannot locate the Canvas Credentials developer keys, you may need to click the Show all keys button at the bottom of the list.

If you are a Canvas Admin and do not wish for teachers to upgrade to Canvas Credentials in your organization, you can contact us at [email protected] to lock the legacy LTI on your instance. Only Canvas Admins can make this request.
