Which is it? bollix47's way, or Joe_H's way?
bollix47 wrote:New ones. The same passkey must be present when downloading and uploading.
Joe_H wrote:It will apply with the next WU's done. Changing the passkey in the middle of processing a WU will keep it from getting bonus, but you are not getting that anyways now. Once 10 WU's have been completed successfully with the new passkey you will get the QRB as long as you maintain at least a 80% completion rate.

Both. bollix47's statement is a terse version of what I stated as it applied to the OP's question.

I don't read it that way.
bollix47 can correct me if I'm wrong, but I read his statement as say that the 10 count doesn't start until the work units are both downloaded and uploaded using the new passkey.
And I read your's to say, correct me if wrong, that the 10 count starts with the WUs currently in progress assuming a new passkey is entered now. And that it doesn't matter about changing the passkey midstream because the old passkey and the new passkey are not bonus eligible.
Granted, only a small difference for a donor with only a few systems, but a difference none the less.

I did not intend that meaning as "successful completion" to be eligible for bonus includes downloaded and uploaded with the same passkey.

In case the OP has been confused by any of the preceding they can look at:

Great. With your setup I doubt it would take much more than half a day to qualify a new passkey assuming the faulty client is no longer causing failures.

You might want to roll-out your new passkey gradually. Start with 2 or 3 machines, I don't know your setup, then add new ones gradually incase the bad setups still around.
It'd be safest this way.

Okay.
Then it may be better to finish the current work units on the old passkey, using the -oneunit flag, or the V7 equivalent. Then stop the client, then put in the new passkey, then start it again.
Switching the passkey in the middle of a work unit may not report favorably against the new passkey.
