# Helmut4 Client The purpose of this guide is to assist you in upgrading the Helmut4 client to a newer version. Updating the client is generally straightforward. On Windows, an uninstaller is available, which removes the client and the Helmut4-related extensions. Running the new client installer defaults to updating the client and the Adobe-Helmut4 extensions. It is important to note that when updating Helmut4 and Adobe simultaneously, Adobe applications should be updated first; otherwise, the extensions will not be available. For further information, please consult the [supported Adobe versions](https://docs.helmut.de/helmut4-releases/v4.7.1/getting-started/supported-adobe-versions) or [Helmut4 client tech specs](https://docs.helmut.de/helmut4-releases/v4.7.1/getting-started/installation-guide/helmut4-client). {% hint style="warning" %} **Update procedure: client - server** *Please update the Helmut4 client on every workstation in advance.* Note: Updating the Helmut4 server first may lead to compatibility issues, as the client might lack certain dependencies introduced as part of new features or changes. {% endhint %} ### Helmut4: Server vs client version Every stable/snapshot release has a dedicated client. The specific client version for the server can be found on the admin webpage or via API.
