What is the best way to update the Admob plugin in Unity?

error code pictureI have an old project on an old version of Unity (2018.4.36f LTS) with an even older Google Admob plugin in it. I would like to update the Google Admob SDK to have all the latest features, like the App Open Ad. But I don't know how to do it (PC running Windows 11) Thank you for your help!
You can download the latest sdk from here
It makes no difference what version of Windows you have. After downloading the sdk, open the Unity editor in the project you want and then drag or double click the downloaded file into Unity.

Installed Unity without hub version and now unity hub won't allow me to add module

i installed unity 2019.3.10f without unity hub. Now i want to download modules such as android , sdk ,ndk and jdk (recommended ones) but hub does not give option to add module.
Unity version is latest same as hub but radio button is disabled
You can re-enable the option 'Add Modules':
Windows
1- go to C:\Users\{USER_NAME}\AppData\Roaming\UnityHub
MacOS
1- go to ~/Library/Application/Support/UnityHub
2- open editors.json file.
3- change "manual":true to "manual":false
4- kill the UnityHub and restart it. Note: Do not forget is stays in the tray on Windows.
So, i searched and found out that if you don't download unity from unity hub you cannot add modules from unity hub.
I didn't expected that but that's how it works.
So, i had to uninstall the old one and then install via unity hub.
The three dot option show modules only if its downloaded via unity hub.
In short if you want unity hub's help you would have to play by unity hub's rules. That might be inconvenient to some extent.
The manual re-enable only seems to work if you have just one version of the editor installed. If you have more than one, it attempts to install the modules for the version you actually downloaded with the hub. This can break things. At this point, unfortunately, it seems you must uninstall the version that is not allowing modules to be added, and reinstall it directly through the hub.
Here is simple trick, and it worked for me.

How to add latest Unity version in Unity HUB?

I want to add Unity 2018.4.9 version within Unity HUB so I have tried to download the latest Unity 2018 version from the Unity HUB.
But my surprise I can't able to find the latest Unity 2018 any version within the list. Here is the snapshot for this:
While the actual website has many Unity versions available for Unity 2018 version.
Now how can I download Unity 2018.4.9 through Unity HUB?
try the following:
downloading the version you want from https://unity3d.com/get-unity/download/archive
Hitting the "Locate" button in UnityHub
Navigating to the location of the download, highlighting it and clicking "Select Editor"
location of locate button
Unityhub supports deep linking like this
unityhub://2018.4.12f1/59ddc4c59b4f
Simply click this link and it opens downloading through the hub (if it is not clickable try sending it yourself in some chat app like slack or telegram). But to download any other version you need to find it in here https://unity3d.com/ru/unity/whats-new/2018.4.12 and generate a link using hash at the bottom of that page
Changeset: 59ddc4c59b4f
So the ida is
unityhub:// + version + / + hash
Firstly download your desired Unity version from here. link --- Picture
Then you can go to Unity Hub and under the installs tab you can find the button named "Locate". Locate Button

Unity not updating

I'm currently working with other classmates in a Unity project. My Unity version is 5.5.0f3 but it seems they are running 5.5.1f1 which is more recent.
When they open my changes they get the following message "oh no the project was saved with 5.5.0f3 and you're using a newer version"
I've tried updating but it shows that I'm at the most recent version of Unity. How do I force the updates?
Just go to the Unity website and download the latest version.

Google Cardboard SDK not working in Unity 5.4.1f (Gvr Controller script not loaded)

I'm trying to use Google Cardboard SDK with Unity 5.4.1f (Free). After importing the unitypackage with SDK, I tried to run the demo scene, but I see only freezing camera. I can't look around with mouse, just static picture. And I see the errors in Console and Inspector tab. Here is the screenshot:
I tried to import different versions of Cardboard SDK and also tried Unity 5.3, but got the same errors. Please help me, I don't know what's wrong with it.
The project is likely corrupted. Make sure that the version of Unity you have is > the version used to build the Google Cardboard SDK.
If that's not the problem, close Unity, delete the current Google Cardboard SDK project and plugin. Download fresh version here.
After downloading it, import the GoogleVRForUnity.unitypackage file. This should fix your problem.
EDIT:
Things changed in the latest Google VR SDK update. The VR Demo Scenes now require VR
Technical preview to work. You can get the latest Unity version for VR here. Scroll down to the end of the page.
The latest version 5.4.2f2-GVR10.
Once you download this version of Unity UNITY_HAS_GOOGLEVR will be defined in Unity and you can now run the ControllerDemo demo.
Note:
You can run the DemoScene scene in Assets\GoogleVR\DemoScenes\HeadsetDemo directory without downloading the Unity GVR version. Right click on the Project tab then click Reimport All.
You just cannot run the ControllerDemo scene in Assets\GoogleVR\DemoScenes directory without downloading the Unity GVR version.
