Platform and Browser Compatibility

Unless otherwise noted, a major and minor version number (for example, 10.9), means that all revisions (10.9.x) with that major/minor version are supported. When major, minor, and revision version number are specified (for example, 10.7.3), only that revision and later revisions of that major/minor version are supported. For example, 10.7.3 means that 10.7.3 through 10.7.x are supported, where x is the latest revision available.

The following table lists qualified platforms and compatible platforms for the Pulse Secure Desktop Clients for Windows, macOS and Linux.

Google Chrome is compatible rather than qualified because of Google's policy to support a “rapid release cycle” rather than an Extended Support Release (ESR) model.

To install Pulse 9.1R8 or later clients on Pre Windows 10 platforms, it is a prerequisite to install the Microsoft update KB2999226. For more information, refer KB44575.
