Description

Automatic Silent Updates

This options gives the administrator the ability to enable automated client version upgrades. When enabled, the VPN client is upgraded automatically and silently as new versions become available without the user's or administrator's involvement. This feature can be controlled by the administrators and the users: Administrators can enable and lock it down via the SonicWallCloud Edge application (myworkspace.sonicwalledge.com) where it can be enabled or disabled per operating system. Currently, we only support desktop operating system and hope to bring this functionality to the mobile platforms in the future. Users can also enable or disable the feature directly from the client (unless it's locked by the workspace administrator), using: Settings -> General -> Automatic Updates.

4. Select the required settings on each tab and click Apply to update the settings.
