Updating
Upgrading Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Windows from beta versions to version 11.3.0 is not supported.
You can update the following applications to Kaspersky Endpoint Security 11.3.0 for Windows during installation from the full distribution package:
- Kaspersky Endpoint Security 10 Service Pack 1 Maintenance Release 3 for Windows (version 10.2.5.3201). For details on installing the update on a computer that has AES Encryption Module installed, see the section below.
- Kaspersky Endpoint Security 10 Service Pack 1 Maintenance Release 4 for Windows (version 10.2.6.3733). For details on installing the update on a computer that has AES Encryption Module installed, see the section below.
- Kaspersky Endpoint Security 10 Service Pack 2 for Windows (10.3.0.6294)
- Kaspersky Endpoint Security 10 Service Pack 2 Maintenance Release 1 for Windows (version 10.3.0.6294)
- Kaspersky Endpoint Security 10 Service Pack 2 Maintenance Release 2 for Windows (version 10.3.0.6294)
- Kaspersky Endpoint Security 10 Service Pack 2 Maintenance Release 3 for Windows (version 10.3.3.275)
- Kaspersky Endpoint Security 11.0.0 for Windows (version 11.0.0.6499)
- Kaspersky Endpoint Security 11.0.1 for Windows (version 11.0.1.90)

If the Full Disk Encryption (FDE) or the File Level Encryption (FLE) components are installed on the computer, upgrading the application installed from a distribution kit with one key length using a distribution kit with a different key length is not supported. To install the update, use the distribution package version 11.3.0 that has the same effective key length as the version that is being updated. For example:
- keswin_11.3.0.773_<localization>_aes256 if you are upgrading an application that was installed from the AES256 distribution package
- keswin_11.3.0.773_<localization>_aes56 if you are upgrading an application that was installed from the AES56 distribution package
If no encryption component is installed on the computer, you can use a distribution kit with any key length to upgrade the application to version 11.3.0.
