Enabling or Disabling Automatic Upgrades of Pulse Client

After you deploy Pulse Client software to endpoints, software updates occur automatically. If you upgrade the Pulse Client configuration on your Pulse Secure server, updated software components are pushed to a client the next time it connects.

  • If you configure Pulse Client to make 802.1X based connections, a reboot might be required on Windows endpoints when Pulse Client is upgraded.
  • A bound endpoint receives connection set options and connections from its binding server, but it can have its Pulse Client software upgraded from any Pulse Secure server that has the automatic upgrade option enabled. During a client software upgrade the client loses connectivity temporarily.

Pulse Client software upgrades are enabled by default. To change the behavior of Pulse Client upgrades:

1.From the admin console, select Maintenance > System > Options.

2.Set or clear the Enable automatic upgrade of Pulse Secure Clients check box.

3.Click Save Changes.
