Each agent package includes software specific to its supported operating system, including the agent and its associated components, an installer, and a readme file.

Agent improvements and fixes

The following fixes and improvements are available in each agent version:

Agent Version	Platform	Component	Component version	Fixes and improvements
7.15.0.1	Windows	Freeze (DFZ)	1.0.1.41	To address a stability issue introduced in version 1.0.2.7, the DFZ component has been rolled back to the previous version.
7.15.0.2	Windows	Component Manager (CTES)	1.0.0.2434	If the CTES component fails to connect to the Absolute Monitoring Center using port 443, it will now fail over to port 11364.
		Installed Software (SNG)	1.0.5.4	The SNG component now successfully detects Cisco AnyConnect, when it is installed on a device. The collected information is available on the Assets > Applications page. In addition to daily scans, the SNG component now performs a full scan of a device's installed applications every 7 days.
	Mac	Component Manager (CTES)	1.0.0.2434	If the CTES component fails to connect to the Absolute Monitoring Center using port 443, it will now fail over to port 11364.
7.15.0.3	Windows	Freeze (DFZ)	1.0.3.4	Previously, upgrading to the latest version of the DFZ component wrongly triggered some Offline Freeze rules to freeze devices when the freeze conditions had not been met. This issue is now fixed.
		CTES Host Services (SVC)	1.0.2.3	Upgrading to the latest version of the SVC component no longer deletes the timestamp of the device's last connection to the Absolute Monitoring Center from the registry.
