Performing the Update
-
Double-click the installer to launch the installation wizard.
- Read and accept the License Agreement. Please note that by accepting the terms of the license agreement, you implicitly accept the terms of use of UiPath activity packages and their dependencies.
- Select Upgrade to upgrade to this version keeping your previous setup and proceed to step 5, with no additional configuration required. Alternatively, select Advanced Settings to make changes to your existing setup and proceed to step 4.
-
If you opted to configure the upgrade, you can configure the following installation options:
- UiPath Studio - Select whether to install Studio. If not selected, only Robot and Assistant are installed.
- Select which extensions and add-ons to install: Excel Add-in, extension for Chrome, extension for Edge Chromium, extension for Firefox, JavaScript Robot Add-on, extension for Microsoft Remote Desktop.
- Click Upgrade, wait for the installation to complete, and then click Launch UiPath Studio.
For information on performing the update from the command line, see Command Line Parameters.
Starting with v2021.10, administrators can set up policies for automatically updating Studio, StudioX, Robot, and Assistant from Orchestrator. When a policy triggers the automatic update process, an Update Available notification is displayed by the UiPath Update Agent prompting you to start the update.
- Select Update now to perform the update. Please note that Studio and Assistant are closed during the update.
-
Select Later to mute the notification. The update process can be resumed at any time in the 24 hours after the initial notification by clicking the UiPath icon in the system tray and then clicking Check for updates. If not resumed by the user, the update is installed automatically after 24 hours.
Note:- During the update process, the Robot does not start any jobs until the update is completed.
- If there are any processes running on the machine, the user is prompted to choose to either stop the process or wait for it to finish and continue with the update.
- If a Studio session is open, the user is prompted to save the progress. If the user doesn’t react, Studio closes and the process is saved as-is at that time and can be recovered after the update is completed, while the Robot waits for any process to complete and starts the update process afterwards.
If you installed Studio and Robot using the Community Edition installer and activated it with a Community license, Studio and Robot are automatically updated as soon as a new version is available on the selected channel, Stable or Preview.
If you installed Studio and Robot using the Community Edition installer and activated it with an Enterprise license, Studio and Robot are automatically updated to the latest Stable release, regardless of the update channel you selected.
- Only Community Preview installations running version 2021.8 and later can be automatically updated to the latest Community Preview release.
- The DigiCert Trusted Root G4 certificate used by the Studio installer is required for the automatic update. If it is not installed on your computer and your configuration prevents the certificate from being downloaded during the update process, the update is not performed. In this scenario, either make sure to install the latest Windows updates, or manually download the certificate and install it in the Trusted Root Certification Authorities store for the Local Machine.
When a new version is available, an Update Available notification is displayed by the UiPath Update Agent prompting you to start the update.
- Select Update now to perform the update. Please note that Studio and Assistant are closed during the update.
- Select Later to mute the notification. The update process can be resumed at any time in the 24 hours after the initial notification by clicking the UiPath icon in the system tray and then clicking Check for updates. If not resumed by the user, the update is installed automatically after 24 hours.
