Android Question Troubles uploading APK with Play App Signing

Since I replaced my computer I am not able to upload an APK to the Google app store. I read this article:

Google Play App Signing

Google Play App Signing service allows developers to let Google store the app signing key for them. Developers need to use a different key, the upload key, to sign the app before release. The advantage of this service is that with the help of Google support you can generate a new upload key in...
www.b4x.com
and it starts by saying that I must upload my original key to Google and that "The encryption key should be replaced with the key from the instructions page"
The thing is that on the Google instruction page I don't see any key. I only see some fingerprints and 2 certificates that I can download: a app-singing certificate and one upload certificate.
How can I continue?

I guess that the key is a file, is that correct? I still have my old computer so nothing is lost. What I found is a file called androidkey.keystore, Is that it? Or how can I check that this is the required key?

To be sure, I now went back to my old computer (where everything worked before). I compiled the new project version and uploaded the apk to Google. The upload now works without returning an error. (Why this gives an error when I do exactly the same on my new computer I would like to know). But in the Google release page of my app I now see
Je kunt deze release niet implementeren omdat de release niet toestaat dat bestaande gebruikers upgraden naar de onlangs toegevoegde APK's

which means something like
You cannot implement this release because the release doesn't allow users to upgrade to the recently added APK's
Click to expand...
So what is wrong here (besides me obviously knowing too little ;-))?

This is the message translated with Google translate:
You cannot deploy this release because the release does not allow existing users to upgrade to the recently added APKs.

Okay, found the issue. My new version had a version number that is smaller that the production version. Pitty that Google didn't say this in the first place.
