that the client was/is offline for a longer period of time
Firewall has a critical status for a specific client, due to
the fact that the firewall is not installed on the client or
the firewall is not activated on the client

Ensures that already activated clients cannot be activated once
again through the computer search dialog, independent to the
way the client activation was performed (clients activated by
machine name, clients activated by IP address, clients activated
by FQDN)
The period used for the automatic synchronization of clients,
obtained from the Active Directory, is now configurable

Run Once scan jobs can be configured not only with a starting
time but also with starting date

In addition to the permanent device control approvals, the

administrator can perform now temporal one.
