Hello @ds2
You can download the VPN only client on the following link, after then you need to shutdown the forticlient from the system tray then you would be able to uninstall the forticlient from the control panel.

Note : If the forticlient services will be running, it won't let you to uninstall it so make sure you shut the forticlient from the system tray first.
Hello @ds2
Looks like you are using full version of forticlient, EMS is mandatory for that, Else your VPN will stop working 30 days. So from the support download the VPN only agent, if you just want to use it for VPN.
Thanks
Can you tell me how to get to the VPN only version?
When I click on VPN only it always goes to the full version for download.
Thanks
Hello @ds2
Indeed you can find the free version of the FortiClient VPN here :
https://links.fortinet.com/forticlient/win/vpnagent
https://links.fortinet.com/forticlient/mac/vpnagent
https://links.fortinet.com/forticlient/deb/vpnagent
You will be able to setup any SSL or IPsec VPN with the free FortiClient.
None of these links work. When I try to run the 1st one it says I already have the latest version installed
Need to uninstall the FortiClient full version previsouly installed, reboot the computer and install the FortiClient VPN Free version
