# Upgrade

The approach to upgrade Zee Drive to a later version depends on how the computer is activated; either as a personal computer or hot desk/desktop server. Zee Drive also supports automated upgrade when used in conjunction with a software deployment tool like Intune.

## Upgrading Personal Computers

To upgrade Zee Drive where it is activated as a personal computer, [download the latest version of Zee Drive from here](/resources/download.md), run it, click Next then click the Upgrade button. After the upgrade has completed you will need to sign out of Windows and sign back in again (or restart your computer) for the new version of Zee Drive to take effect. If you do not see the Upgrade button then you are already running the latest version of Zee Drive.

{% hint style="info" %}
Local administrator permissions are required to upgrade Zee Drive unless Zee Drive is already installed or [pre-installed via the command line](/how-to/use-the-command-line.md#install-zee-drive)
{% endhint %}

## Upgrading Hot Desk Computers And Desktop Servers

To upgrade a hot desk computer or desktop server, [download the latest version of Zee Drive from here](/resources/download.md), run it, click Next, enter the Zee Drive subscription administrator username + activation code (or partner subscription username + activation code if administered from a partner subscription). A blue link "hot desk computers and desktop servers" should show after successfully validating your username + activation code. Click the blue link. The wizard should now prompt you to upgrade the hot desk computer or server to the latest version of Zee Drive.

A restart of the computer may be required. Zee Drive will let you know.

The next time a user signs in the hot desk computer or desktop server the latest version of Zee Drive will start up.

## Automating Zee Drive Upgrades

If you have a software deployment tool you can automate the upgrade of Zee Drive via command line. See the [command line documentation](/how-to/use-the-command-line.md) for more information. Hot desk computers and desktop servers can also be upgraded via the command line.

A full guide/walkthrough is available for [deploying and upgrading Zee Drive with Microsoft Intune](/how-to/deploy-with-intune.md) on hot desk computers and personal computers.
