Upgrading From an Older Version of Merge

To upgrade from an earlier version of Merge:

  1. Ensure that your serial number’s support expiry date is after the build date of the version of Merge that you are installing. For more information about serial numbers and support expiry dates, please see Understanding Serial Numbers, Support Expiry & Upgrade/Support Entitlement.

  2. Follow the normal installation procedure to upgrade an earlier version of Merge.

    Warning Upgrading using the winget upgrade --id Araxis.Merge command always results in Merge being installed with machine scope (that is, for all users). That command is not therefore recommended unless Merge is already installed with machine scope. Instead, WinGet users should install the new version using winget install, exactly as for a first-time installation.
