Downloading New Versions
The Progress® Telerik® UI for ASP.NET Core Visual Studio (VS) extensions enable you to keep your projects updated.
Latest Version Acquirer Tool
The Latest Version Acquirer tool automatically retrieves the latest Telerik UI for ASP.NET Core distribution which is available on the Telerik website. Once a day, upon loading a project with Telerik UI for ASP.NET Core controls, the extensions query the Telerik website for a new version of Telerik UI for ASP.NET Core. When a new version is detected, a notification is displayed.
Clicking Update Now starts the Latest Version Acquirer tool which prompts for your Telerik credentials on its first page. If you do not have a www.telerik.com account, you can create one through the Create an account for free link.

.zipfiles which contain the latest Telerik UI for ASP.NET Core binaries and any resources that are vital for a Telerik UI for ASP.NET Core application.

If you find the list of the offered packages too long and you do not need the older versions, close the VS and use the Windows Explorer to delete these distributions.
