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.

•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.
