A new version of the endpoint clients is made available. The release of clients makes available these products to install with an appropriate subscription key:

Computer Protection 19.4 (4.04.824)
Computer Protection Premium 19.4 (4.04.824)
Computer Protection & Rapid Detection and Response 19.4 (4.04.824)
Computer Protection Premium & Rapid Detection and Response 19.4 (4.04.824)
Server Protection 19.4 (4.04.824)
Server Protection Premium 19.4 (4.04.824)
Server Protection Premium & Rapid Detection and Response 19.4 (4.04.824)

The endpoints get automatically upgraded, generally without a reboot.

This release introduces:

Concept of Early Access. As per popular demand, we have introduced a change to the way we release endpoint clients. Administrators can set in Portal General Settings | Early Access to Client Software -toggle on, identifying the computers that will receive our product update in advance of the full release. This allows Early access computers receive F-Secure software updates several days before everyone else. We are finalizing the details of how many days we set the limit to, with limitation of allowing max one week delaying. For 19.4 release, availability tomorrow starts only for computers marked for the early access group, and for others the availability starting point moves to next week.
Start of Support for full range of servers (Citrix, Terminal Server). With this release, we start support for Citrix (excluding the imaging scenarios that require recognizing new license uses as same) and Terminal Server. Also note that SWUP on servers no longer times a restart, but we allow servers their usual restart schedule. Enhancing settings on this is scheduled for next release.
Redesigned Endpoint Settings User Interface. We have combined our settings user interfaces under one umbrella and worked to address concerns around finding the settings on the endpoint cients that Administrators set on Portal. For example, the two DataGuard(tm) settings are now grouped together.
Software Updater User Interface. Primarily for convenience for administrators, we have introduced a Software Updater user interface on the endpoint clients. You can find this from Tools view on the endpoint client Main User Interface.
Fixes and Improvements. Improving Software Updater Exclusions, Software Updater Restart, Installation and functionality in Proxied environments, and Events and Event History (with Show All -function).

Hi Tamas,

we are monitoring the WKS12 numbers and there are many different actions related to those. As per our current setup, WKS12 upgrades will all end up in 19.1 to manage the configurations we need to support and monitor, and we are taking action to let those upgrade from 19.1 to 19.3 later. So this release isn't an action directed towards WKS12 upgrades.

Hello,

Currently, I still see some 1180 computers with "FSAV PSB WKS 12.01" software on them, amongst a total of 5510 devices visible under the hierarchy of our PSB "SoP" level portal.

Will this new "PSB CP version 19.3" release make sure those left-over WKS 12 computers are also converted to the new, lightweight "Computer Protection" anti-virus technology?

Thanks in advance, Yours Sincerely. Tamas Feher, Hungary.

The clients get automatically upgraded, generally without a reboot.

This release introduces:

Allowing installing on operating systems without .NET 4.7.2 and shows a dialog instead of .NET user interfaces if updating .NET is required. While lack of .NET stops us from showing user interfaces, the remotely managed clients are keeping users secure.
Pressing Check Now for updates bypasses throttling. If you want to get the latest client installed before it is scheduled for your particular endpoint, you can get that by using Check Now.
Improved Restart functionality. It now allows to postpone restart and has a count down to the restart time.
Remote Quarantine support. Admin can add items on exclusions when releasing them from quarantine in portal. Availability of this functionality depends on the PSB Portal and backend release.
Improved Install software updates remote operation: it waits until completed without timeout, it does not block other remote actions but has its own queue, and it reports status with more granularity.
Importable xml-config for WMI with remote actions for Kaseya RMM
Showing exclusions in scanning report
Many fixes to match customer reported issues, including ones fixes for previous versions as hotfixes
Support for Server Products.
New hidden dialogs for piloting purposes. Should you want to participate in early access of new settings and new software updater client user interfaces, please get in touch. These will be revealed in full on later releases.

Should you notice anything worth a mention or question, we always welcome your feedback.

Please note: while the Server Protection products are installable from the same installer, we added their availability from this release starting on May 16th.
