Connecting Windows devices and Mac devices

You can connect Windows devices and Mac devices to Kaspersky Endpoint Security Cloud by using one of the following methods:

• When adding user accounts, send an email message with an automatically generated link to download a security application. A user that receives the message clicks the link in the message, and then installs an application on the device.
• Download the distribution package of the security application and install the downloaded application on the device.

  This method can be used for adding devices that have no defined users (for example, servers).

• Copy a link to the distribution package of the security application and send it in any convenient way.

  This method can be used if you want other users to add devices that have no defined users (for example, servers).

• Use a Group Policy script to deploy security applications on multiple devices.

During installation, Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Windows tries to uninstall an incompatible security application from a device.

After you install the security application by using any of the above methods, the device is displayed in Kaspersky Endpoint Security Cloud Management Console.

Regardless of the method for connecting the Windows device or Mac device, it is recommended to assign the device owner.
