Most of our users are on FortiClient 5.2.0.0591. I would like to have the FortiClient identify that a newer release exists 5.2.1.0605 and automatically update it. I do not have FortiManager. This worked previously (5.07 to 5.09) but my clients think that they' re on the " latest version" .

A manual upgrade from 5.2.0 to 5.2.1 can be completed by running the FortiClient light installer available for download at: www.forticlient.com.

This doesn't really answer the OP's question - why doesn't it autoupgrade?

Is it that major version releases (5.0.x to 5.2.x) and my current issue 5.2.x to 5.4.x always require manual intervention?

thanks,

Major releases are supposed to auto-upgrade. This was broken in some versions of the client but I believe it is fixed now. Unfortunately, the latest stable version is 5.2.3 and it's broken in that one. All subsequent versions have a bug which affect Windows 10 & Outlook. I've been advised that the next 5.4 release - just pushed back a month to mid May - should resolve these issues.
