Features of this release:
1. Domain-based access is now available for Email Auto Protector
- Now, you can extend permissions to all users of external domains that are added as recipients (in ‘To’ and ‘cc’ fields) while sending emails through Email Auto Protector.
- Global Security Admins and System Admins can enable this feature in the ‘Rule Console’ of their Enterprise Application in the Policy Server portal.
- If any external domain is in the ‘deny list’ in the Policy Server portal, the individual recipients will get the permissions; however, permissions won’t get extended to other users of that domain.
2. Introducing ‘Edit and Save Back’ in SharePoint On-premises
- Users who have Edit permission can now edit and save back Seclore-protected files opened in Seclore Online directly from SharePoint On-premises. They’ll no longer need to download the file, edit it, and upload it to SharePoint.
- Only one user will be able to edit a protected file online at any point of time.
- This feature is available with Active Directory Federation Services, PingFederate, and Windows authentication.
3. Other improvements and upgrades.
- Added support for newly released macOS Ventura.
- Added support for opening protected files in Microsoft Office version 16.67 in Mac.

Seclore Application Modernization – Plan your system migration
- Seclore now uses Linux Docker (container) based deployments. All new features will be released in this modern application.
- We are moving out of Windows deployments for server components. However, we will continue to provide bug fixes on the legacy application till Mar’23.
- Seclore Cloud is already enabled with the modern application to provide faster access to new features and security updates. To move to the Seclore Cloud, connect with your Seclore SPOC.
- For on-premises customers, the option to migrate to Docker-based deployment is live now.
- To further help you with the migration and reduce the maintenance overhead we plan to add support for Linux Virtual Appliance, please fill up this short survey form to share your thoughts on it.
Discontinuing Support:
The Seclore product suite needs to continuously support new platforms and maintain version compatibility with a whole lot of devices and applications that inevitably get launched every year.
Unsupported software that is no longer patched and updated also carries greater security risks. It is critical for us to stop supporting such platforms and ensure that Seclore protected information is safe and secure from vulnerabilities of the underlying technology.

What does Seclore End of support date really mean?
It means that Seclore product versions released before the End of Support Date may still work, but releases after that date may not.
For example, regarding Windows XP support:
- Assuming the following release dates:
- 1-May: Seclore Desktop Client 3.8 is released.
- 30-June: End of Support for Windows XP
- 1-August: Seclore Desktop Client 3.9 is released.
- Now, on a Windows XP computer, it will still be possible to install Desktop Client 3.8
- However, it will not be possible to install Desktop Client 3.9.
- Also, existing 3.8 installations on Windows XP will not get upgraded to 3.9.
What Seclore components are no longer supported?
The End-of-Life Date for a Software Version will be 24 months from the time it becomes Generally Available. This includes all Seclore agents that are installed on end-user devices and server-side components like the Policy Server, Enterprise Application connectors, APIs and SDKs.
