Features of this release:
1. Dynamic Watermark for Classified-Only Emails
- Users will now see a dynamic watermark on classified-only email (emails that have been classified but not protected), when configured by Global Security Admins (GSAs).
- This feature proves valuable as a standalone protective measure without protecting the email with Seclore EDRM.
- Dynamic watermark will appear on emails that are classified using labels with dynamic watermarking enabled in the Policy Server portal.
- However, this will not be applied to attachments unless you classify them with labels that have dynamic watermarking enabled before attaching them to the email.
2. Opening protected files in VDI/RDP
- Users with at least Read permission can now access protected files using Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) and Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP). Earlier, Screen Capture permission was needed to do this.
- Users will see Seclore’s dynamic watermark when a protected file is opened using VDI or RDP.
- Users will continue to need Screen Capture permission to open protected files in apps that don’t support Seclore’s watermark.
3. Faster file opening
- Protected files can now open faster by up to 2.5 seconds depending on factors such as the location of the Policy Server, user’s system configurations, file format, file size, etc.
4. Retaining classification metadata in emails - macOS
- Classification of emails (classified with Seclore DAC) will be now retained when users reply to/forward classified emails using the New Outlook for Mac.
5. Content for Data Protection Portal
- Through the Data Protection portal, organizations can receive protected emails by creating email templates and sharing them with external users.
- For a seamless experience, we have added help content to our Adoption portal pertaining to the Data Protection portal.
- Click here for a step-by-step guide on how to use the portal.
6. Maintenance and upgrades
- Added support for Mac OS 14.0 Sonoma.
- Added support for iOS version 17.
- Added support for Android version 14.
- Apache Tomcat upgraded to version 9.0.78.

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.

- 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.
