I started using AOO for Mac probably in 2011, when I lived in the US. It would update automatically. The last check was performed on 05/09/18; I have no idea why AOO stopped doing automatic checks and updates. The version I have on my new Mac (copied from my old Mac) is 4.1.1.
I now live in Europe but so far it hasn't been an issue for me to use that version. I received several warnings that I should update my version but has only tried to do it today. When I click on Preferences -> Online Update -> Check Now I get an error message (see screenshot attached). I don't know what to do to keep my settings and not have to install a completely new version. Please help if you can.

Re: Download and install new version of AOO
OpenOffice never installed the updates. Check for Update is exactly that, a check to see if updates are available. You must to install them, but that is very simple.mlaurevelay wrote: ↑Mon Jul 31, 2023 5:12 pm It would update automatically. … I have no idea why AOO stopped doing automatic checks and updates.

The only way to update OpenOffice is to install a completely new version. However your settings are kept in the user profile, and the user profile is not replaced when a new version is intallled so you keep your previous settings.mlaurevelay wrote: ↑Mon Jul 31, 2023 5:12 pm I don't know what to do to keep my settings and not have to install a completely new version.

Re: Download and install new version of AOO
Wasn't this update-thing fixed on newer version? I do remember it was listed as fixed in the release notes. It was either on 4.1.10 or 4.1.11.
OpenOffice 4.1.15
LibreOffice 24.2.2
Windows 10 Home 22H2 x64
