Version 3.40.2100.2868
New or Improved Features
- The new workstation notification feature allows IT Administrators to send a message to one or many workstations.
- Removes the need for a drive letter for Faronics StorageSpace by mounting a folder on the workstation and seamlessly migrates the existing data for all Faronics products.
Note: When performing new installations of multiple Faronics’ products (for example, Deep Freeze, Anti-Executable, Faronics Anti-Virus), it is highly recommended to install Deep Freeze beforehand, reboot the workstation Thawed and then perform all other workstation installations. After installing the workstation clients on all the workstations, reboot the workstations Frozen.
Note: Workstations with Deep Freeze and other Faronics products will continue to have a 800MB free disk space requirement on the workstations once Faronics Core Agent is upgraded to 3.40 or higher. This space is required for data used by Faronics products that need to survive a reboot on a Frozen computer.

Version 3.33.2100.2384
New or Improved Features
- Upgrading Faronics Core Agent 3.33 on Power Save installations will no longer require a drive letter for Faronics StorageSpace and 800MB free disk space on the workstation.
- When performing new installations of multiple Faronics’ products (for example, Deep Freeze, Anti-Executable, Faronics Anti-Virus), it is highly recommended to install Deep Freeze beforehand, reboot the workstation Thawed and then perform all other workstation installations. This will remove the necessity for a drive letter on the workstation. Installing Deep Freeze last on the workstation will result in Frozen configurations for all Faronics’ products.
- Workstations with Deep Freeze and other Faronics products (excluding Power Save) will continue to have a drive letter and 800MB free disk space requirements on the workstations once Faronics Core Agent is upgraded to 3.33. If a drive letter is not required, it is recommended to uninstall all workstation clients from the workstations, upgrade the Faronics Core Agent and reinstall all workstation clients beginning with Deep Freeze. This will result in an installation that does not require a drive letter.
- Upgrades and installations of Faronics Core Agent 3.33 do not require rebooting the workstation.
Fixes
