[Lumion Pro Updater](https://support.lumion.com/knowledge-base/download-installation-questions?hsLang=en-us#lumion-pro-updater) # How does the Updater for Lumion work? ![Updater \_L25 Home screen withDownloading Updates.jpg](https://support.lumion.com/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/20081879856028_1753908077146-2.jpg) **Note**: as at November 18, 2025 your version should now be 2025.2.0 or newer.  If not, then please Install or Update to the newest version. Lumion 2025.2.0 is available as an **Update,** **only for users in Lumion 2025.0.2 and 2025.1.0**. Users on older versions need to do a full installation. See also:  **Knowledge Base:**  [Lumion 2025: Everything you need to know](https://support.lumion.com/knowledge-base/api/v2/help_center/en-us/articles/19336288624668.json?hsLang=en-us)   **Updating Lumion:** In prior versions, Lumion required that there was a full application and content file download and install.  Except for some specific hotfixes which involved small patches and a somewhat cumbersome process for distributing the update. With the new *Updater*, we can now provide updates for fixes and improvements that only involve those changes.  This will result in small downloads, quick, easy-to-install updates when not a major version change. This should make it much easier for you to keep Lumion up to date. The *Updater* is part of the Lumion install.  you need to have first installed the full version of Lumion 2023.0 or newer.   ### Applies to: Lumion 2025, Lumion 2024, Lumion 2023.0, and newer. For specific steps for using this *Updater* to Update to Lumion 2025.0 in Lumion 2023 and Lumion 2024, see this article, Section 2.2: Update your Lumion 2024 or 2023 version to Lumion 2025: - **Knowledge Base:**  [Lumion 2025.0: Everything you need to know](https://support.lumion.com/knowledge-base/api/v2/help_center/en-us/articles/19336288624668.json?hsLang=en-us)   ### **1.  Lumion will now advise that there is an update ready:** ### ![Updates\_available\_message\_in\_Lumion\_for\_b08\_-Continue-hlpTxt.png](https://support.lumion.com/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/7999368210844_1753908077803-2.png) If you want to see what is in a release, then please use the *More Info* button to take you to our [News Section](https://support.lumion.com/hc/en-us/sections/360002453813?hsLang=en-us) at the Knowledge Base.   ### ![Updates\_-\_link\_for\_More\_button.png](https://support.lumion.com/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/7999381266972_1753908078490-2.png) All updates are incremental.  In other words, if you missed out on installing a prior update then this time around you can catch up on all and get the most recent. ### **2.  Download the Updates:** You then have the option to download the updates in the background while Lumion is running or to skip the download for this Lumion session. The next time Lumion is started, you will get the same screen with the same options. Please note it is not possible to pick separate updates to download, it will always download all available Updates. ![Updater \_L25 Home screen withDownloading Updates \_hlt.jpg](https://support.lumion.com/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/20081900409372_1753908079389-2.jpg) If you choose to download the *Updates* in the background, then on the *Home Screen* there is a progress bar.  There is no current option to pause the download, in general, because the files are considered very small, so you do not need to pause the *Updater* download process. See also Section 7 if there are any issues.   ### **3.  Installing the Updates:** Once all the downloads are completed, you will have the option to install them. This will close Lumion, giving you the option to save your *Project* file for current work done and start the *Updates Installer*.  The *Updates Installer* will wait until Lumion is fully closed, before starting the installation process. ![Updater\_3\_Ready\_to\_Install\_the\_Updates.jpg](https://support.lumion.com/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/7846634176796_1753908080080-2.jpg) *Install Now* option once downloaded: ![Update\_donwloaed\_and\_ready\_to\_install.jpg](https://support.lumion.com/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/7999177260956_1753908080834-2.jpg) ![Updater\_-\_Install\_Now\_button\_and\_message\_to\_Quit\_Lumion.png](https://support.lumion.com/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/7999515058332_1753908081651-2.png) When you select to install and click on the *Install Now* button, you will be given the usual options in Lumion to *Exit* or *Save and Exit*.   ![Lumion\_Install\_Complete\_-Exit-StartLumion.png](https://support.lumion.com/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/7999339843100_1753908082626-2.png) Click on either the *Exit* button if you do not wish to carry on using Lumion immediately. Else click on the *Start Lumion* button. See also Section 7 if there are any issues.     ### **4. Setting for the Auto-Update in the Background:** In the *Settings* menu, you now also have the option to always download updates in the background. This disables the *Updates Notification Screen*.  Lumion will still display the download progress bar, so you know that the updates are downloading in the background. ![Updater\_4\_Settings\_screen\_for\_allowing\_auto-Updates.jpg](https://support.lumion.com/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/7846634413980_1753908083620-2.jpg)   ### **5.  Multi-user Installations and the Updater:** This *Updater* version supports updaters directly to each Lumion installation.  Corporate, multi-installation using silent updating, where there are no local administrator privileges, or where there is a Group Policy to restrict local installs is currently not available. Please contact us for further assistance on how to use the current system: - **Knowledge Base:**  [Contact Lumion Technical Support](https://support.lumion.com/knowledge-base/api/v2/help_center/en-us/articles/360042039073.json?hsLang=en-us)   ### **6. Full Installation:** If you have not yet installed Lumion with a version that has the *Updater* included (from version Lumion 2023.0.0), then you will need to download the *Installer* from your *Lumion Account*. ![Istaller\_for\_Full\_Version\_23.0.0\_Final.jpg](https://support.lumion.com/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/8047924415388_1753908084311-2.jpg) - **Knowledge Base:  **[What is a Lumion Account?](https://support.lumion.com/knowledge-base/api/v2/help_center/en-us/articles/360043127434.json?hsLang=en-us) - **Knowledge Base:  **[What options does your Lumion Account provide?](https://support.lumion.com/knowledge-base/api/v2/help_center/en-us/articles/6081359030684.json?hsLang=en-us)   ![full\_install\_from\_your\_Lumion\_Accountt.png](https://support.lumion.com/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/7999442811036_1753908085310-2.png)   Installing the full Edition requires all files for Lumion be downloaded and installed.  If your version includes the *Updater*, then when the next new release/update is available, simply follow the few steps above to update and keep right up with the latest version!   ![Istaller\_for\_Full\_Version\_23.0.0\_Final\_d.jpg](https://support.lumion.com/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/8047925513244_1753908085964-2.jpg) ![Installer\_-\_ready\_to\_Install\_b.jpg](https://support.lumion.com/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/8048185653788_1753908086644-2.jpg)   The *Updater* for the Lumion Installer will save the required files to this folder: - C:\\ProgramData\\LumionUpdater ![Updater\_option\_files\_are\_stored\_here\_and\_example\_files\_for\_2023.0.4\_-\_ini\_etc.png](https://support.lumion.com/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/8042381953564_1753908087434-2.png) And each *Update* required, is saved to a separate *Update* subfolder, for example: ![Updater\_option\_files\_are\_stored\_here\_and\_example\_files\_for\_2023.0.4.png](https://support.lumion.com/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/8042381158172_1753908088037-2.png)   On successful completion of the *Install*, the folder and files are deleted: ![After\_successful\_Install\_the\_files\_are\_removed\_by\_the\_Updater.jpg](https://support.lumion.com/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/8042381727132_1753908088768-2.jpg) See also Section 7 if there are any issues.   ### **7.  Issues:** #### 7.1:  The Download progress does not change #### It might show as no download progress: ![if\_you\_get\_the\_Dwonload\_not\_showing\_thne\_Run\_as\_Admin\_for\_Lumion\_even\_if\_an\_Admin.jpg](https://support.lumion.com/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/8557201036956_1753905276425-Aug-15-2025-11-41-03-6778-PM.jpg)   or seems stuck on a certain percentage: ![Updater at 25percent](https://support.lumion.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/Updater%20at%2025percent.jpg?width=670&height=166&name=Updater%20at%2025percent.jpg)   Please run Lumion as an Administrator.  To do this: **7.1.1:**  Make sure Lumion is closed. **7.1.2:**  In Windows File Explorer, navigate to the Installation folder, usually *C:\\Program Files\\Lumion \[version\]* **7.1.3:**  Select the exe application file '*Lumion*' and right-click. **7.1.4:**  Select '*Run As Adminstrator'*. **7.1.5:**  Open Lumion.  The *Updates* should now proceed and allow for installation. ![Run As Administrator\_b.png](https://support.lumion.com/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/11298731602844_1753908089370-2.png) Or you can set it here in the 'Properties \> Compatability' tab : ![set Run as Administrator-Properties-Compatability.png](https://support.lumion.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/11298731603996_1753908090000-2.png?width=325&height=454&name=11298731603996_1753908090000-2.png)   **7.1.6:**  Or, you can: Right-click the Lumion 2023 shortcut and select '*Run as Administrator'*: ![](https://support.lumion.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/11298731604636_1753908090649-2.png?width=469&height=148&name=11298731604636_1753908090649-2.png) If the issue persists, contact us for further assistance: - **Knowledge Base:**  [Contact Lumion Technical Support](https://support.lumion.com/knowledge-base/api/v2/help_center/en-us/articles/360042039073.json?hsLang=en-us)   #### 7.2:  The files download but the Installer does not complete the Update: Follow the steps in the above section 7.1.
