ServiceDesk - Signature does not match with any available certificates

ServiceDesk - Signature does not match with any available certificates

I'm trying to install patch file to fresh installation on Debian 13.
Because the ServiceDesk instance I need to migrate from a very old Windows to Linux is build 14300, I started with a fresh install of build 14205 (which is the closer to 14300).
Now when trying to install the update, I get the following error:

Signature does not match with any available certificates. Please import valid certificate or contact support.

The update log shows the following:

- Run: sh UpdateManager.sh -c
- Option c to import /usr/src/ppmsigner_publickey.crt
- Option i to Install
- Enter /usr/src/latest.crt when required (also tried using ppmsigner_publickey.crt)

I found another similar issue when installing an old version of another ManageEngine product here:
https://pitstop.manageengine.com/portal/en/community/topic/certificate-error-in-updatemanger
They provided with a certificate file that is compatible with that old version, so I guess I would need someone to share the old certificate for it to accept it, but maybe I'm totally wrong.
As I'm using the free version, when contacted support I only got a negative and instructions to open a thread here.

Please advise.

Thanks!

      • Ability to Assign Technician in another group from Dropdown.

        We currently have an On-Prem instance with multiple groups. All of the tickets default to the Tier 1 group. Many times, the Tier 2 team forwards in tickets for themselves. It would be beneficial if you could assign multiple tickets from the Requests' Assign dropdown no matter what group the technician is in. SDP should be smart enough to automatically change the group based on what technician you select. When I select the technician I'd like to assign to, *the technician themselves* it gives me an
