Please note there is a known installation issue when upgrading the Alchemy Web Application from Alchemy 8.3 SR4 to Alchemy 8.3 SR5, where a duplicate entry for ‘machineKey’ in Web.config is created. This only applies if you have installed Alchemy Web Application SR4 using full installer (CD-CMS) and now you are upgrading it to SR5 using patch installer; however two workarounds are available and are explained in the documentation.
