Automatic Upgrade from the Security Gateway

You can distribute an upgrade of the Remote Access Clients from the Security Gateway, while the user is connected to it, using the TRAC.cab file.

The installation is downloaded automatically from the Security Gateway, and it installs automatically.

This is only for users who are upgrading from a previous version. You cannot edit the file before you distribute it.

To automatically update clients to this release of Remote Access Clients or a future release, upgrade the client package on the Security Gateway. Then all clients receive the new package when they next connect.

There are two packages: one for ATM installation and one for non-ATM installation.

Each package has these files:

  • TRAC_ATM.cab or TRAC.cab

  • ver.ini

  • CheckPointEndpointSecurityForATM.msi (packaged in the cab file)

  • CheckPointVPN.msi

Users must have administrator privileges to install an upgrade with an MSI package. Administrative privileges are not required for automatic upgrades from the Security Gateway.

Unattended (ATM) Clients

You cannot upgrade regular Remote Access Clients and unattended (ATM) Endpoint Security VPN clients from the same Security Gateway.

Important - If you download the Automatic Upgrade for ATM file, you get a file called TRAC_ATM.cab. You must rename it to TRAC.cab before you put it on the gateway.
