FileWave Logo FileWave Custom Installer Builder

Custom FileWave Client for Mac

The Custom Client is to be used to enroll new devices into FileWave.
These should NOT be used to upgrade an existing FileWave Client. Doing so may break communication between the Client and FileWave server.
Please refer to the product download pages to obtain the appropriate Client Upgrade Fileset to upgrade your existing FileWave Clients
