Hi
hi recived now mail from GEs with fixed version SophosConnect_2.1.4_EAP1.msi.zip
Is an official download possible? Can you share the link?
I asked to GES if they send me the software via link since it was put directly in the mail our spam filter has dropped it.
"attached is a new Sophos Connect installer which fixes the bug. Could you please install this on the affected systems and let us know if the problem is solved for you?"
Wow, that's great. I can also install a few clients with this patch if you want. The more people test, the better it can be seen whether it actually solves the problem.
yep i'd also love to get a hold of this. I have a few users who would be veryyyyy happy to see the end of this bug :)
as soon as I get the link I copy it here
