    Product integration and support

    Product integration and support

    The following table lists version 7.0.11 product integration and support information:

    Desktop operating systems
    • Microsoft Windows 11 (64-bit)
    • Microsoft Windows 10 (32-bit and 64-bit)
    • Microsoft Windows 8.1 (32-bit and 64-bit)

    FortiClient 7.0.11 does not support Windows Server Core.

    For Microsoft Windows Server, FortiClient (Windows) supports the Vulnerability Scan, SSL VPN, Web Filter, and antivirus (AV) features, including obtaining a Sandbox signature package for AV scanning. To use SSL VPN on a Windows Server machine, you must enable your browser to accept cookies. Otherwise, tunnel connection fails.

    Microsoft Windows Server 2019 and 2022 support zero trust network access (ZTNA) with FortiClient (Windows) 7.0.11.

    As FortiClient does not support Application Firewall on a Windows Server machine, do not install the Application Firewall module on a Windows Server machine. Doing so may cause performance issues.
