    Looks like your IT support has suppressed the update.

    1. Close Captivate.
    2. Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\AAMUpdaterInventory\1.0.
    3. Open the AdobeUpdaterAdminPrefs.dat in any text editor.
    4. Change the Suppressed tag value to 0 from 1 and save it.
    5. Launch Captivate. The Update option will be enabled.
