macOS Big Sur (11) can only work with E84.30 (and higher) clients. Therefore you must upgrade the Endpoint Security VPN client to one of these versions before you can upgrade the operating system.

To upgrade an Endpoint Security VPN client computer:

  1. Upgrade the Endpoint Security VPN client to E84.30.

  2. Upgrade the operating system to macOS Big Sur (11).

Migrating from SecureClient

Endpoint Security VPN for Mac is not compatible with SecureClient for Mac. You must uninstall SecureClient before you install Endpoint Security VPN.
