Serena VPN Client
by Serena Software
Overview
Serena VPN Client is a software program developed by Serena Software. Upon being installed, the software adds a Windows Service which is designed to run continuously in the background. Manually stopping the service has been seen to cause the program to stop functing properly. It adds a background controller service that is set to automatically run. Delaying the start of this service is possible through the service manager. The primary executable is named vpngui.exe. The setup package generally installs about 15 files and is usually about 12.02 MB (12,608,132 bytes). The installed file autoupdate.exe is the auto-update component of the program which is designed to check for software updates and notify and apply them when new versions are discovered. Relative to the overall usage of those who have this installed, most are running it on Windows 7 (SP1). While about 83% of users of Serena VPN Client come from the United States, it is also popular in United Kingdom.
