Overview

When new versions of Player are released, two options are available for updating existing installations on Windows PCs:

• Option One: Manually start the update process while on the device. This requires to have local admin right on the device.
• Option Two: Exclusively for Platform Enterprise accounts, Player can be updated remotely using the Share & Deploy Console.

Player on Windows will never automatically update itself to ensure updates only occur when you want them to occur.

On-Device Update

From within Intuiface Player

At the bottom of Player's Experiences panel is a "Check Update" option. Clicking it will initiate a search for an updated version of Player.

If a newer version of Player is available, you can download and install it. To complete the installation, you will need local administration rights when using Player Classic.

Using a downloaded installer

If you need to install a specific Player version - or if the device running Player is offline - you can manually run the Player installer. Download the installer for the desired version of Player from the Intuiface Installers page. (Of course, if the Player device is offline, you will have to download the installer using some other device and then copy it over to the Player device.)

You don't need to uninstall the previous version of Player, but you do need to stop Player if it is currently running.  You will need local administrator rights to complete the installation when using Player Classic. The newly installed Player will inherit the licensing status of the previously installed version.

Remote Update

Exclusively for Platform Enterprise accounts, the Share and Deploy Console supports remote Player updates.

With this option, Player can be migrated to any available version, not just the latest version. In addition, updates can be scheduled in advance.

NOTE: The remote update feature cannot be used when upgrading from Player Classic v.7 to Player v.8. For this jump, you must manually uninstall Player Classic and then install Player.
