2. Create a backup copy of your Administration server version 6.0 using the utility klbackup.exe or an Administration Server Data backup task.
   
   To be able to restore Administration Server Data you should save a Server certificate copy (this note applies to Administration servers version 5.0.0474 and below only – newer version save the certificate automatically).
   
   
3. Run Kaspersky Administration Kit 8.0 installer on the computer with installed Administration server and upgrade its version. Reverse compatibility between new and old Administration server versions is supported. All old Administration server version data will be saved during an upgrade.
   
   Attention! Kaspersky Administration Kit 8.0 does not support operating system Microsoft Windows NT. It is impossible to install Kaspersky Administration Kit 8.0 on top of version 6.0.
   
   
4. Run Kaspersky Administration Kit 8.0 installer on all other administrator workstations (computers with installed Console without a Server) to upgrade Administration Console version.
   
   Open a Console, connect to the Server and make sure that policies and tasks have updated correctly.
   
   If a Server has failed to install, reinstall Administration Server and restore from an Administration Server data backup copy.
   
   
5. When you start an Administration console for the first time, a Policies and Tasks Conversion Wizard will be started. It uses the existing policies and tasks for Kaspersky Anti-Virus 6.0 for Windows Workstations / Servers MP3 to create new policies for the same applications version 6.0 MP4. The names of policies and tasks created in this manner contain the word converted.
   
   Attention! You cannot lock any locks in such policies.
   
   
   To start the Policies and Tasks Conversion Wizard manually, right-click on the console tree node Administration server and invoke the command All Tasks > Policies and Tasks Conversion Wizard.
   
   
6. Create a Network Agent version 8.0.2048 installation group task for client computers (or a task for specific computers). Run this task by scheduling or manually. Network Agent version will be upgraded on client computers after successful termination of this task.
   
   
7. Create a Kaspersky Anti-Virus 6.0 for Windows Workstations / Servers MP4 installation task for client computers with installed Kaspersky Anti-Virus 6.0 for Windows Workstations / Servers MP3.

   This key will now be automatically deployed on computers with installed Kaspersky Lab applications fit to use this license and not having an active key so far.

There is no need to upgrade Network Agent version on computers with installed Kaspersky Anti-Virus 5.7 for Novell NetWare, Kaspersky Mobile Security 7.0 Enterprise Edition and Kaspersky Anti-Virus 5.7 for Linux File Servers\Workstations applications. They are using special builds of Network Agent integrated into antivirus software to connect to an Administration server.
