Use Help > Check for updates and follow the download link when an update is available. Download the full package for your operating system from GitHub Releases through our Software page; updates are not installed automatically. Close SFX Catalog and DaVinci Resolve. On Windows, extract the entire ZIP into a new folder and run SFXCatalog.exe. On Linux, extract the archive, run install.sh, then launch from the applications menu. If the application path changes, update shortcuts and reinstall the Resolve plugin from the new version: Linux needs that path to launch the panel, while Windows needs it for audio conversion. Once the new version works, you can safely delete the old application folder and all its bundled files. First move out any personal files or sound libraries you placed there. Keep the currently used installation and the separate SoundEffectsCatalog user-data folder containing your catalog and saved activation. No deactivation is needed when updating on the same computer under the same user account.
