What is new in Sahi Pro Desktop Add-on v7.5.0

Key Modifications

Desktop Automation without Browser Automation If you want to automate only Desktop applications, and do not need Sahi Pro's browser automation capabilities, it is now possible to turn off browser capabilities and use only a Desktop Add-on license (without needing a Sahi Pro license). One needs to add licenses based on Sahi capabilities enabled.
