Enhancements

Installer languages for Windows

The PingID desktop app installer for Windows now provides installation instructions in the following languages: English, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Dutch, Portuguese (Portugal), Russian and Spanish.

Desktop app update capabilities

Admins can now have the flexibility to choose whether to push newer versions of the desktop app to their users using company distribution mechanism, or to grant users with the freedom to decide if and when to update the app version.

End users, whose installation of the PingID desktop app permits them control of automatic updates, now have an easier on demand menu toggle selection, which permits them to change the configuration to activate or deactivate automatic updates.

Enhanced support

A support ID reference number is added to sent logs and is displayed on the settings page of the app, for reference in further communication with the support team.
