Upgrading previous versions of administration plug-ins

You can upgrade administration plug-ins by using the following methods:

Kaspersky experts recommend using the same version of the app and administration plug-ins. If user upgrades the app from Google Play, the Kaspersky Security Center shows notification with a prompt to upgrade the administration plug-in.

When administration plug-ins are updated, the existing administration groups in the Managed devices folder and rules for the automatic allocation of devices from the Unassigned devices folder to these groups are saved. The existing group policies for mobile devices are also saved. New policy settings that implement the new functions of the Kaspersky Security for Mobile integrated solution will be added to the existing policies and will have the default values.

If new settings have been added or the default values have been changed in the new version of the administration plug-in, the changes will be applied only after a group policy is opened. Until the administrator opens a group policy, the settings of the previous version of the plug-in will be applied on mobile devices even if the plug-in version has been updated.
