# Installation

Install BurpGPT Pro in Burp Suite Professional.

## Prerequisites

* [Burp Suite Professional](https://portswigger.net/burp/pro) **2026.7 or later** for BurpGPT Pro 3.1.
* Java **21 or later** if you launch Burp with an external Java runtime.
* The BurpGPT Pro JAR file provided with your purchase.
* Your BurpGPT Pro licence key.

Burp Suite's native installer includes its own Java runtime. A separate JDK is not required to install the extension.

## Load the extension

1. Open Burp Suite and select `Extensions` → `Installed`.
2. Click `Add`.
3. Select `Java` as the extension type and browse to your BurpGPT Pro `.jar` file.
4. Click `Next` and confirm that the extension loads without errors.
5. Open `BurpGPT Pro` → `Licence` and [activate your licence](/getting-started/activate-your-licence.md).

Then follow the [quick start](/getting-started/quick-start.md) to configure a provider and run your first analysis.

## Upgrade to 3.1

Replace the existing extension with the new JAR. Version 3.1 requires Burp Suite Professional 2026.7 or later.

Provider and scanner settings reset to defaults on upgrade from earlier releases. Re-enter your provider configuration, run `Test request`, and check the scanner prompt and scan preference before use. Saved licences and prompt libraries are retained.

To load the updated example prompts, export your custom prompts before [resetting the prompt library](/analysis-and-prompts/use-the-prompt-library.md#restore-the-bundled-examples).
