# Helmut4 Client

The purpose of this guide is to assist you in upgrading the Helmut4 client to a newer version

Updating the client is in general straight forward. On Windows there is an uninstaller available which will remove the client and the Helmut4 related extensions.

Running the new client installer is by default updating the client and the Adobe-Helmut4 extensions. It is important to keep in mind if one is updating Helmut4 & Adobe at the same time, that the Adobe applications get updated first otherwise the extensions will be not available.

For further informations have a look into the [supported Adobe versions](/helmut4-releases/v4.7.0/getting-started/supported-adobe-versions.md) or [Helmut4 client tech specs](/helmut4-releases/v4.7.0/getting-started/installation-guide/helmut4-client.md).

{% hint style="info" %}
**Update procedure: client - server**

Please update the helmut client on every workstation in advance.\
\
You might run into compatibility issues if you update the helmut server first as the client might lack of some dependencies which have been introduced as part of new features/changes.
{% endhint %}

### Helmut4: Server vs client version

Every stable/snapshot release does have a dedicated client. The dedicated client version for the server can be found on the admin webpage or via API.\
