Do I have a Forcepoint F1E agent or a conventional Forcepoint Endpoint agent?

To determine which type of agent you have, check the following:

  • User Interface branding: If you have a Forcepoint F1E agent installed, the package builder, Diagnostics Tool, DLP Endpoint UI, and system tray icon are branded as “Forcepoint F1E”.
  • Version number:
    • Conventional Forcepoint Endpoint: The conventional Forcepoint Endpoint agents have a two or three digit version number consisting of a major and minor version. If your Forcepoint DLP Endpoint or Forcepoint Web Security Endpoint agent has a v8.6 or earlier version number, it is a conventional Forcepoint Endpoint agent. If your version of Forcepoint ECA is v1.4 or earlier, it is a conventional agent.
    • Forcepoint F1E: The Forcepoint F1E agents have a longer version number that consists of the year, month, and build number. For example, v20.05.4734 is a Forcepoint F1E release created in May 2020. If your agent has a v18 or later version number, it is a Forcepoint F1E agent.
  • Task bar icon:
    • Conventional Forcepoint Endpoint: Each installed Forcepoint Endpoint agent is a single installed product with its own separate icon in the notification area of the task bar (Windows) or the status menu of the menu bar (Mac). If you have more than one Forcepoint Endpoint agent installed on an endpoint machine, there is a separate Forcepoint icon for each agent.
    • Forcepoint F1E: All installed Forcepoint F1E agents are installed as a single product (Forcepoint F1E) with different components (i.e., the agents: Forcepoint DLP Endpoint, Forcepoint Web Security Endpoint, or Forcepoint ECA). If you have more than one Forcepoint F1E agent installed on an endpoint machine, there is only one Forcepoint icon. When you click the icon, Forcepoint F1E opens a menu that shows the options for all installed agents. Also, when you move the mouse over the icon, it shows “Forcepoint F1E”.
