# Updating PDFKeeper

PDFKeeper is designed to periodically check to see if an update is available while the main form is open. Updating PDFKeeper can be performed as a standard user and unless specified, you can begin to use the new version right after the update without any configuration.

When an update is available, a dialog will be displayed with the following options:

- Skip this version – When this button is selected, PDFKeeper will no longer inform you that the newer version is available. If this button is not available, than the update is mandatory and cannot be skipped. If this option is selected accidentally, then delete the skip key from the registry located in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Robert F. Frasca\PDFKeeper\AutoUpdater.

- Remind me later – When this button is selected, you can either choose to be reminded after 30 minutes, 1 day, 2 days, 4 days, 8 days, or 10 days; or you can select download updates now.

- Update – When this button is selected, the update process will download the installer for the new version, close PDFKeeper, and execute the installer. The installer will remove the current version and install the new version. Once completed, you can launch PDFKeeper and log back in and begin using the new version. If any configuration is needed, you will be instructed on what needs to be done when the new version is launched.
