Update to the latest version does not work

I tried to use ZOOM in my Windows 11 PC and I cannot login because the software requires me to do an update to version 6.7.2 or higher in order to continue using ZOOM. I need to do that update but the ZOOM program asks me to do it by contacting the IT team. The message displayed on the screen is as follows:

 

“Your app version needs to be 6.7.2 (26346) or higher to sign in. Please contact your IT team to update your app.”

 

I have ZOOM installed also in my Android smartphone, with the same ZOOM account, moshe.goldstein@mail.huji.ac.il. The ZOOM’s version of that installation is 6.7.5 (37428). Because of that, I do not have any problem to sign in to ZOOM from my smartphone.  

 

Until now my ZOOM account  has been a Hebrew University of Jerusalem “Licensed” account. I retired from my position at the Hebrew University and I need to discontinue the “Licensed” status of my account and downgrade it to “Guest” in order to disconnect it from my past employer’s license, and then be able to do that update as a Guest user instead of a Licensed user. 

Could you, please, tell me how may I do all the above on ZOOM in my Windows 11 PC?

I thank you in advance for your kind help.

    Hey ​@Moshe Goldstein 

    Thank you for your question, You can try to:

    Unassociate Your Licensed University Account

    To convert your Zoom account from your former institution’s licensed profile to your own Basic (free) account:

    • Sign in at the Zoom Web Portal (via your browser).
    • Navigate to Account Profile from the left-hand menu.
    • Click “Unassociate and create your own account.”
    • Confirm by clicking Yes.
      You'll be returned to your profile, now as the owner of a Basic (Free) account under your email.

    If your email domain is still associated or managed by your former institution, the option might not be available. You can contact your former institution’s IT team, explain your retirement and request removal from their license pool. Once confirmed, reinstall/update Zoom on your Windows PC. Sign in with your same email—now as a Basic (Guest) account—and you should regain access.
