Upgrading endpoints to the latest version of FortiClient

When a new version of FortiClient is available, EMS displays an alert (the bell icon) in the top right-corner of the GUI. The below shows an example of the EMS GUI when new versions of FortiClient (in this case for macOS and Windows) are available.

You can update endpoints to the new version of FortiClient by creating a new installer as described in Creating a FortiClient installer. You can then edit the assigned endpoint profile's Deployment tab to specify the newly created installer:

  1. Go to Endpoint Profiles, and select the assigned profile.
  2. Click Edit. The profile settings display in the content pane.
  3. On the Deployment tab, select the new installer from the Installer dropdown list.
  4. Edit other settings as desired.
  5. Click Save.

EMS syncs the profile changes to the affected endpoints, and the new version of FortiClient is installed on them.
