An installation package is a set of files generated for the remote installation of a Kaspersky application using Kaspersky Security Center. The installation package contains the required settings to install the application and ensure its operation immediately after installation. The installation package is created on the basis of the file with the KUD extension included in the application distribution package.

  If you are using installation package to install Kaspersky Endpoint Agent over a previous version of the application and L2 sniffer driver had already been installed before, the L2 sniffer driver will be stopped, updated, and restarted regardless of the value setting.
- The settings of the key file for activating the application

The new installation package is available in the list of installation packages. You can use this installation package for a remote installation task.
