Important Information

In order to provide you with an improved experience and greater flexibility in the way our software is deployed across rapidly changing work environments, we’ve made some changes to our PFAccount and Product Entitlement tools.

PFManager is no longer supported, and cannot be used to download the latest software builds. Please visit the PFAccount Admin Portal for more information.

The main screen lets you access all of PFManager's functionality.

Login/Logout (1)

Depending on your Preferences settings, accessing certain functions, such as managing entitlements, requires the PFACC account administrator to log into PFManager.

Upon first login after installing PFManager, the account administrator will be prompted to define which functions will be available without logging into PFManager.

Once logged in, the button will change to Logout. Please note that quitting PFManager will not automatically log you out of PFManager.

Exit (2)

Quit PFManager.

The Home button brings you back to the main screen and notifications.

Notifications can be filtered to show only news about a product (e.g. PFClean) by clicking on the product name in a notification. Clear Filter (10) removes the filter and returns to showing all notifications. Read notifications can be removed by hovering the mouse over the message and clicking the x in the top right corner.
