Hi My goal is to update the Servoy Developer from Version 8.1.3 to 8.1.4. I am somewhat stuck to find the necessary steps to achieve the goal. Where do I get the specific update file, in my case 8.1.4 (build 3035)? What is the URL to get the update file? I know the following URL, but this gives me an installer instead of an updater file: [http://download.servoy.com/beta/8xx\_pro%20...%20r.3035.jar](http://download.servoy.com/beta/8xx_pro%20...%20r.3035.jar). Seems not what I need. If I once have the update file downloaded, I understand I have to do something like java -jar … in the terminal (macOS) Is there a need to put the update file in a certain place? If someone could list the few steps necessary that would be a great help. Thanks in advance and regards, ---

Have you tried menu Help → Check for updates? ---

Yes, I have tried it this way but get the latest update (version 8.2.1). But I need v 8.1.4 I found in the forum the URL to download an updater for my searched specific release: [http://download.servoy.com/downloads/8xx\_updates/servoy\_update.jar.3035](http://download.servoy.com/downloads/8xx_updates/servoy_update.jar.3035) When I try to run java -jar /path\_to\_update\_file/servoy\_update.jar.3035 in the terminal, I get: > Error: Could not find or load main class .jar Also tried with servoy\_update.jar (removed .3035) with no luck. Does the update file to be at a certain location? > patrick: > Have you tried menu Help → Check for updates? Regards, ---

I think you have to do a new installation if you want that. The installer should be available here: [http://download.servoy.com/beta/8xx\_pro … r.3035.jar](http://download.servoy.com/beta/8xx_product/servoy_installer.3035.jar) ---

Hi Patrick Thanks, I try to avoid a new installation. Installing overwrites everything with the install folder, does ist? I am just wondering what are the update files for when updating is not supported? > patrick: > I think you have to do a new installation if you want that.

The servoy\_updater is only used for an application\_server. I guess what you can do is got to Help → install new software and click on the “Available Software Sites” link. That opens the source URLs. Add an entry called 3035 with URL [http://download.servoy.com/developer/8xx\_updates/3035](http://download.servoy.com/developer/8xx_updates/3035) and disable the Servoy update site. That should work… ---
