Major upgrades and first-time installations are manually updated by the user. Minor, less critical versions will auto-upgrade.

Users of Respondus LockDown Browser for Windows, with the most recent version already installed, will auto-update with version 2.0.8.05 on or around April 4, 2022.

LockDown Browser for Mac, version 2.0.8.06, released on April 4 will NOT auto-update at this time. To obtain the latest version (2.0.8.06) use the “Check for Update” feature or run the full installation program.

Respondus has been updating their software at least once a month, sometimes more frequently.

Note: Instructors should provide a brief, ungraded practice quiz using Respondus LockDown Browser so students can be sure their computer will work during a graded exam. Some students may need to use a different computer for exams requiring LockDown Browser.
