    Conflict with third-party endpoint protection software

    As a Fortinet Fabric Agent that provides protection, compliance, and secure access, FortiClient may conflict with antimalware products on the market that provide similar AV, web filtering, application firewall, and ransomware protection features as FortiClient. If you encounter a conflict, there are a few steps you can take to address it:

    • Do not use other AV products when FortiClient's AV feature is enabled.

    • If FortiClient's AV feature is disabled, configure the third party AV product to exclude the FortiClient installation folder from being scanned.

    During a new FortiClient installation, the installer searches for other registered third party software and, if it finds any, warns users to uninstall them before proceeding with the installation. There is also an option to disable FortiClient real time protection.

    Intune product codes

    Deploying FortiClient with Intune requires a product code. The product codes for FortiClient 7.2.12 are as follows:
