hi, fortinet...

I would like to request this feature if it's possible...

when all features were disabled, the FCT is just a pure endpoint agent.

in this case, do not show anything unless top banner...

see the following pic....

Kindly elaborate. If all FortiClient features are disabled, how do you use FortiClient, or what is it used for?

sorry for my wrong description...

precisely speaking, when all features of the left menu was disabled by fortigate, do not show anything...

for now FCT, it just show the following message after fortigate disabled all features(AV/WF/VPN/AF...):

NO TUNNELS AVAILABLE..

that hiding whole empty content to avoid possible confusion is better...

Hiding will make the GUI look better. But where do you expect the settings to show when you click File -> Settings?

YES, menu bar still keeps the same with current version...

the FCT will get back to last unregistered setting if it's unregistered from FortiGate unit...

and, I think providing more information is better for registered user...
