Forticlient VPN ARM processer

Hi,
We bought an Microsoft Surface Pro 9 which has an ARM processer.
The point of buying this was to hook it up with the Fortinet VPN, so we could go anywhere and still be connected.
Problem is i can't install it on the Surface Pro 9, due to having an ARM processer.
I was wondering if there was any early access or beta for Forticlient VPN for ARM processers that we could try?

Or is there any other solution?

I tried the Microsoft store app, but that doesn't seem to work with SAML.
The VPN connection is SAML with Azure.

FortiClient for ARM is now available on the support portal. Look for the version 7.4.3.

if you encounter the error message 'Sorry, you don't have any product covered by a Fortinet support contract'. please make sure that you're using an account with a valid support contract at least one registered device.

Best,

Hi @JLPM  I'm not sure if you've installed it yet. I got the same error message as you at first, but now I've managed to install it (Surface Pro 11).

I used this method: In the folder C:/{user}/AppData/Local/Temp/FCT_{....} (The folder starts with FCT)

Inside, there will be these files. Install from the file named ForticlientVPNUntitled.png

Same here, but i install the testversion of full client - this works for me!
Hope they will update the VPN Client soon!

Could someone share the checksum code (MD5 and SHA-512) for the firmware image "FortiClientVPNSetup_7.4.3.1790_ARM64.exe"?
