Upgrading from previous FortiClient versions
To upgrade a previous FortiClient version to FortiClient 7.0.12, do one of the following:
- Deploy FortiClient 7.0.12 as an upgrade from EMS. With the endpoint security improvement feature, there are backward compatibility issues to consider while planning upgrades. See Recommended upgrade path.
- Manually uninstall existing FortiClient version from the device, then install FortiClient (Windows) 7.0.12.
FortiClient (Windows) 7.0.12 features are only enabled when connected to EMS 7.0 or 7.2.
See the FortiClient and FortiClient EMS Upgrade Paths for information on upgrade paths.
You must be running EMS 7.0.2 or later before upgrading FortiClient.
