# Update or uninstall

> Replace a vAudioLink build safely and remove a product you no longer use.

## Update a product

<Steps>
  <Step title="End active sessions">
    End the room or Scene Share session and save any OBS log needed for support.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Close OBS completely">
    Exit OBS and confirm `obs64.exe` is no longer running.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Download the promoted installer">
    Use the [Downloads page](https://vaudiolink.eu/download). Do not assume every repository artifact is approved for production.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Run the installer">
    Install the replacement over the existing product. Keep the same OBS target unless you intentionally changed OBS installations.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Restart and verify">
    Open OBS, open the dock, and confirm the expected plugin version where shown. Run a short local test before the next production session.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Uninstall a product

Use the product's Windows uninstall entry when available. Close OBS before removal, then reopen OBS and confirm the dock no longer appears.

Plugin-managed scene sources may remain as missing or inactive items after uninstall. Review and remove only the scene items you no longer need.

<Warning>
  Do not manually delete broad OBS plugin or configuration directories. Other plugins and the user's profiles may share those locations.
</Warning>

## After an update

* Reopen the dock.
* Confirm the correct microphone or vocal source is still selected.
* Confirm managed sources still belong to the intended scene.
* Run the [preflight checklist](/getting-started/preflight).
* If the dock is missing, use [installation troubleshooting](/troubleshooting/install-dock).
