* If you are using FortiClient only for IPsec VPN or SSL VPN, FortiClient version 6.0 and later are supported.
When upgrading your Security Fabric, devices that manage other devices should be upgraded first.
When using FortiClient with FortiAnalyzer, you should upgrade both to their latest versions. The versions between the two products should match. For example, if using FortiAnalyzer 7.4.0, use FortiClient 7.4.0. |
Upgrade the firmware of each device in the following order. This maintains network connectivity without the need to use manual steps.
