    Windows 32 bit Pulse Secure Client
    Upon starting the client for the first time it may ask to upgrade the client. This will pull an up to date version of the client with the most recent configuration.
  2. Start the client if it is not already running - it usually starts by default on bootup.
    [Windows] Start the client from the Start Menu.

    [Windows] Double click its status icon to open.
  4. and click 'Add' (+) under the connection section.
