Where Can I Install the GlobalProtect App?

Find out what endpoint OSes are compatible with each GlobalProtect™ app version.
The following sections show operating systems on which you can install each release of the GlobalProtect™ app.
The compatibility lists that follow show compatibility with major versions for each platform only and does specifically call out minor versions. However, support the stated support for the major versions implicitly includes support for all minor versions for the listed major versions.
Use the OS compatibility information to determine what version of the GlobalProtect app you want your users to run on their endpoints.
Because the version that an end user must download and install to enable successful connectivity to your network depends on your environment, there is no direct download link for the GlobalProtect app on the Palo Alto Networks site. In addition, the way you deploy the GlobalProtect app to your users depends on the OS of the endpoint.
