Update Adobe AIR - how it works

To close security gaps and to be able to use new functions, you should update Adobe AIR regularly. In this practical tip we will show you how.

How to update Adobe AIR

Adobe AIR contains an automatic update function that regularly searches for new program versions on the Internet and offers them for installation. By default, this search is performed whenever you start an AIR application and the last check was more than two weeks ago.

• To install, simply click on the "Update Now" button in the information window.
• If you have deactivated the update search via the AIR settings manager, you must switch it on again via the manager so that the software automatically searches for updates.
• If you want to update Adobe AIR manually or do not want to wait until the next search for updates, you can alternatively download the latest version of Adobe AIR and install it over the existing version.

In our next practical tip, you will read how you can completely remove Adobe AIR. You can then do a clean reinstallation of the latest version.
