Automatic update of Adobe Illustrator

This might be useful if you want to re-confirm your Adobe Creative Cloud setting about updating applications. If you choose to "Auto-update", all the applications will be kept up-to-date. In case you do not prefer updating your Illustrator automatically, we recommend to turn the setting off.

Set Auto-update OFF

1) Log into Creative Cloud

Creative Cloud > "Preferences"

2) Set Auto-update off

Turn "Auto-update" off as marked below.

You will NOT be applied auto-updating when an update is released. You will be able to update manually after you decided to.

Update Illustrator without removing old versions

Regardless of use of our plug-ins, when you determine updating your Illustrator, we highly recommend you to re-confirm your setting in advance. You can keep Illustrator in older versions if you UNCHECK "Remove old versions" while updating.

How to uncheck "Remove old versions"

1) Go to Update

Updates > Click "Update" of the application

2) Uncheck optional settings

The following pop-up will appear. If both "Import previous settings and preferences" and "Remove old versions" are checked, please UNCHECK them.

Please ensure that they are unchecked and continue.

Please note that you will need to re-install our subscription plug-ins when you update your Illustrator. Our plug-ins will NOT be migrated to the new Illustrator version automatically. Please download the latest version of our plug-ins and install them.

In case you keep both "Checked" and complete the installation, all the other versions of Illustrator will be removed. This case, you will not be able to use any of our plug-ins that work with the deleted versions.
