For the busy people (wait, isn\u2019t that all of us?) who want the answer up front without the details, ArcGIS Pro 3.5 was released in May 2025. But if your organization is on 3.4 and not ready to upgrade yet, you can target a specific version for updates<\/a>. Introduced in ArcGIS Pro 3.4 (November 2024), the UpdateTargetVersion<\/strong> setting allows you to keep software update notifications on for versions that are not the latest release. If you think your organization could benefit from this feature, continue reading for details\u2026<\/p>\n

Patches are important<\/h2>\n

First of all, what are patches and why are they important anyway? Patches are small updates that you can apply to your current version of ArcGIS Pro that contain quality improvements (like bug and crash fixes) and address security vulnerabilities. That\u2019s it \u2013 no new features or functionality in patches. As issues are fixed in the internal development builds of the software, those fixes can be included in patches for software that has already been released. We understand that organizations have practices in place that don\u2019t always allow updating to new versions right away. Regardless of your version of ArcGIS Pro, however, you should always have the latest patch installed for that version to keep the software secure and running smoothly.<\/p>\n

How ArcGIS Pro version numbers work<\/h2>\n

There are two versions of ArcGIS Pro released every year, typically around May and October. Because these are big releases with a lot of new functionality, we often hear them referred to as \u201cmajor\u201d releases, but they usually are minor version releases.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhoa, wait, Kory. You\u2019re telling me that ArcGIS Pro 3.5 is not a major release? That sounds like crazy talk.\u201d<\/p>\n

Well, when it comes to the version numbers, 3.5 is a minor version release because ArcGIS Pro follows the semantic versioning specification. Semantic versioning \u2013 it sounds scary, and honestly not something you would particularly care about when you just need to get that map out the door, so we\u2019ll keep it simple. ArcGIS Pro version numbers use a Major.minor.patch numbering scheme. The table from the Releases and patches<\/a> help topic offers a clear explanation.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"image","image":{"ID":2791552,"id":2791552,"title":"Semantic Versioning Table","filename":"Semantic-Versioning-Table.png","filesize":24594,"url":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Semantic-Versioning-Table.png","link":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/products\/arcgis-pro\/administration\/update-arcgis-pro-at-your-own-pace\/semantic-versioning-table","alt":"Table explaining the difference between Major, Minor and Patch versions of ArcGIS Pro","author":"8932","description":"Semantic versioning table for ArcGIS Pro 3.4","caption":"Table explaining the difference between Major, Minor and Patch versions of ArcGIS Pro","name":"semantic-versioning-table","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":2791442,"date":"2025-05-13 17:33:35","modified":"2025-05-13 17:37:06","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/png","type":"image","subtype":"png","icon":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":777,"height":377,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Semantic-Versioning-Table-213x200.png","thumbnail-width":213,"thumbnail-height":200,"medium":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Semantic-Versioning-Table.png","medium-width":464,"medium-height":225,"medium_large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Semantic-Versioning-Table.png","medium_large-width":768,"medium_large-height":373,"large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Semantic-Versioning-Table.png","large-width":777,"large-height":377,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Semantic-Versioning-Table.png","1536x1536-width":777,"1536x1536-height":377,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Semantic-Versioning-Table.png","2048x2048-width":777,"2048x2048-height":377,"card_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Semantic-Versioning-Table.png","card_image-width":777,"card_image-height":377,"wide_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Semantic-Versioning-Table.png","wide_image-width":777,"wide_image-height":377}},"image_position":"center","orientation":"horizontal","hyperlink":""},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":"

Configure update notifications<\/h2>\n

Now that we\u2019re clear on how ArcGIS Pro versions work, let\u2019s get back to the significance of the UpdateTargetVersion<\/a><\/strong> setting. This setting allows you to keep update notifications enabled even when your organization is not on the latest version of ArcGIS Pro. Using the versions that are current at the time of this writing as examples, ArcGIS Pro 3.4 will continue to be in General Availability<\/a> (that is, eligible for patching) until June 1, 2026. And ArcGIS Pro 3.5 (practicing what we learned above, 3.5 is a minor<\/em> release but has lots of cool new features and functionality) just released.<\/p>\n

Without UpdateTargetVersion set, if software updates are enabled, you would get a notification to update to ArcGIS Pro 3.5. Which is great if you and your organization can update right away. But if you can\u2019t go to 3.5 and continue working in 3.4, you will continue to get updates for 3.5 patches \u2013 for example, 3.5.1, 3.5.2, and so on \u2013 as they become available. These update notifications are not relevant to you and become distracting even if you are an admin in control of your update cadence, and unwanted for organizations locked to ArcGIS Pro 3.4. Because of that, the administrator is likely to disable software update notifications\u2026<\/p>\n

\u2026 and therein lies the problem. Even though patches for 3.4 will continue to be released until it enters Mature Support<\/a>, with the software updater disabled, it is entirely your responsibility to frequently go to My Esri to see if new patches are available, download them and distribute across the organization. With the additional burden, that is less likely to happen, resulting in your organization running software without the latest patches.<\/p>\n

The UpdateTargetVersion setting resolves that dilemma. When your organization is locked to a specific version of ArcGIS Pro, use the setting to define your target version (remember, this was introduced in ArcGIS Pro 3.4 (November 2024) so it won\u2019t work in previous versions). Set it to 3.4 and now you and your ArcGIS Pro users will continue to get the in-app patch notifications for the version you\u2019re on, ensuring you\u2019re running the most secure, highest quality version of the software possible.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"image","image":{"ID":2791582,"id":2791582,"title":"Updates Restricted","filename":"Updates-Restricted.png","filesize":12685,"url":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Updates-Restricted.png","link":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/products\/arcgis-pro\/administration\/update-arcgis-pro-at-your-own-pace\/updates-restricted","alt":"ArcGIS Pro UI showing updates restricted info message when UpdateTargetVersion is set","author":"8932","description":"ArcGIS Pro UI showing updates restricted info message when UpdateTargetVersion is set","caption":"When UpdateTargetVersion is set, users get an informative message on ArcGIS Pro\u2019s About page","name":"updates-restricted","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":2791442,"date":"2025-05-13 17:37:47","modified":"2025-05-13 17:38:49","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/png","type":"image","subtype":"png","icon":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":431,"height":226,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Updates-Restricted-213x200.png","thumbnail-width":213,"thumbnail-height":200,"medium":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Updates-Restricted.png","medium-width":431,"medium-height":226,"medium_large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Updates-Restricted.png","medium_large-width":431,"medium_large-height":226,"large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Updates-Restricted.png","large-width":431,"large-height":226,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Updates-Restricted.png","1536x1536-width":431,"1536x1536-height":226,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Updates-Restricted.png","2048x2048-width":431,"2048x2048-height":226,"card_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Updates-Restricted.png","card_image-width":431,"card_image-height":226,"wide_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Updates-Restricted.png","wide_image-width":431,"wide_image-height":226}},"image_position":"center","orientation":"horizontal","hyperlink":""},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":"

Conclusion<\/h2>\n

A practical use of the UpdateTargetVersion setting would be for a utility company that deploys ArcGIS Pro 3.5 across its many ArcGIS Pro users. They should set this to 3.5 and will receive patch notifications only for 3.5 for the next two years, even though there will be a 3.6, 3.7, 3.8 and 3.9 released over that time (versions are hypothetical at this time, though we do not anticipate a major version change at the time of this writing). When they\u2019re ready, they can update to ArcGIS Pro 3.7 or ArcGIS Pro 3.9 and set UpdateTargetVersion to 3.7 or 3.9, respectively, to ensure the best experience for their users.<\/p>\n

In summary, even if your organization is not on the latest version of ArcGIS Pro, it is best practice to install the latest patch for the version you are using. UpdateTargetVersion is a setting that was made available starting in ArcGIS Pro 3.4 (November 2024) that allows administrators to keep in-app software updates available even when not on the latest version of the software.<\/p>\n
