If I start the case application and click the connect button on the disconnected screen, it will remain connected and continue changed.

Hi. Do you think it would be possible to have the file version and upload date of the SDP client displayed on the Download page? It'd be way easier to know if a new version available.
Hi bmeid,
This is good feedback which I will pass on to our product team.
New Clients are always announced in our Release Notes or you could click Follow on the article for the relevant OS under Summary of Cato Client Releases. Then you will get an email when a new version is added to that page.
Hi Hiroshi Watanabe,
Are you still facing this issue? If so, please contact you administrator to open a support ticket.
Hi
Is there a MSI. file for the installation?
Hi mahi,
Yes there is. You can download it from the Client Rollout page or this link.

Hi Michael
Thanks for the quick answer! Just what i needed.
Is there a way to do this by injecting a registry entry in a windows OS?
Hi Michael Lavin,
No this is not supported. If required, you can open an RFE for the Product Team to review the feasibility. For more information, see Requesting New Features (RFEs).
