hi there,

 

I need to set up some laptops to have pre-installed Forticlient. Is there a way to download forticlient full version (not online version), so I can easily deploy to those laptops?

since my internet connection not so fast, 1 laptop need almost 1.5 hours just for install forticlient using online version. I need to set up 16 laptops. those laptops will connect to fortigate with OS 5.0 above, but before 5.2

need help please.

 

thank you

    Once on the support site, click on the Download link then choose Firmware Images then select FortiClient.  Browse to the version you want.  The Readme_1st.txt document outlines which files are what.

    You may download forticlient full version for support site directly, I guess you may need support account. Thanks.

    FWIW

     

    You don't need a support contract for basic downloads forticlient

     

    http://www.fortinet.com/resource_center/product_downloads.html

     

    Just make sure you hoover on the respective OSes and download the correct type.

    This downloads the very same ONLINE ONLY installers!

     

    Fortunately one can pickup the full msi installer from %temp% folder on Windows, and for Mac one needs to run from terminal

     

    /Applications/FortiClientUpdate/Contents/MacOS/FortiClientUpdate

     

    where after download one can see where in /var FortiClient.dmg was saved
