Compatibility of the Kaspersky Endpoint Agent (Endpoint Sensors) versions for Windows with EPP programs

You can use Kaspersky Endpoint Agent alone or set up an integration of Kaspersky Endpoint Agent with workstation protection programs (Endpoint Protection Platform, hereinafter also "EPP"), Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Windows, Kaspersky Security for Windows Server, and Kaspersky Security for Virtualization Light Agent. If the integration of programs is configured, Kaspersky Endpoint Agent also sends the information about threats detected by these programs, and their processing results to the Central Node server.

The integration scenarios described above do not work when Kaspersky Endpoint Agent is installed on a virtual desktop in Virtual Desktop Infrastructure.

Integration of Kaspersky Endpoint Agent with Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Windows and Kaspersky Security for Windows Server requires installing Kaspersky Endpoint Agent as part of those programs.

Compatibility of Kaspersky Endpoint Agent with versions of Kaspersky Security for Windows Server

You can install the following versions of Kaspersky Endpoint Agent as part of Kaspersky Security for Windows Server:

• Kaspersky Endpoint Agent 3.9 as part of Kaspersky Security 11 for Windows Server.
• Kaspersky Endpoint Agent 3.10 as part of Kaspersky Security 11.0.1 for Windows Server.

When you install Kaspersky Endpoint Agent as part of Kaspersky Security for Windows Server, the standalone Kaspersky Endpoint Agent of the same or earlier version is removed. If Kaspersky Endpoint Agent installed as part of Kaspersky Security for Windows Server has an earlier version, it will not be installed. In this case, you must first remove the standalone Kaspersky Endpoint Agent.

If necessary, you can upgrade the Kaspersky Endpoint Agent that is already installed as part of Kaspersky Security for Windows Server. Integration between compatible versions of the programs is maintained both when Kaspersky Endpoint Agent is upgraded and when Kaspersky Security for Windows Server is upgraded.

Information about the compatibility of Kaspersky Endpoint Agent versions with Kaspersky Security for Windows Server versions is listed in the table below.

Compatibility of Kaspersky Endpoint Agent versions with Kaspersky Security for Windows Server versions

Kaspersky Security for Windows Server version	Compatibility with Endpoint Sensors 3.6.1	Compatibility with Endpoint Agent 3.8	Compatibility with Endpoint Agent 3.9	Compatibility with Endpoint Agent 3.10	Compatibility with Endpoint Agent 3.11	Compatibility with Endpoint Agent 3.12
KSWS 10.1.2	No	Yes	Yes	Yes	No	No
KSWS 11	No	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes	No
KSWS 11.0.1	No	No	No	No	Yes	Yes

Compatibility of Kaspersky Endpoint Agent with versions of Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Windows

You can install the following versions of Kaspersky Endpoint Agent (Endpoint Sensors) as part of Kaspersky Endpoint Security:

• Kaspersky Endpoint Agent 3.7 or Endpoint Sensors 3.6.1 (Endpoint Sensors) as part of Kaspersky Endpoint Security 11.2, 11.3.

  Kaspersky Endpoint Agent 3.7 is incompatible with Kaspersky Anti Targeted Attack Platform.

• Kaspersky Endpoint Agent 3.9 as part of Kaspersky Endpoint Security 11.4, 11.5.
• Kaspersky Endpoint Agent 3.10 as part of Kaspersky Endpoint Security 11.6.
• Kaspersky Endpoint Agent 3.11 as part of Kaspersky Endpoint Security 11.7.

When you install Kaspersky Endpoint Agent 3.10 or later as part of Kaspersky Endpoint Security, the standalone Kaspersky Endpoint Agent program of the same or earlier version is removed. If the separately installed Kaspersky Endpoint Agent has a later version, the program bundled with Kaspersky Endpoint Security is not installed. In this case, you must first remove the standalone Kaspersky Endpoint Agent.

If you are using both Endpoint Sensors 3.6.1 installed as part of Kaspersky Endpoint Security and the separately installed Kaspersky Endpoint Agent 3.8 or 3.9 simultaneously, Kaspersky Anti Targeted Attack Platform receives data from both programs. The following errors can result from this:

• Information about IDS and Sandbox alerts is not received from Endpoint Sensors 3.6.1.
• Kaspersky Endpoint Agent 3.8 or 3.9 does not send alert information to Kaspersky Endpoint Security

To avoid the errors, do one of the following:

• Disable the use of Kaspersky Endpoint Agent program as part of Kaspersky Endpoint Security before upgrading Kaspersky Endpoint Agent program to version 3.8 or 3.9.
• Before and after upgrading Kaspersky Endpoint Agent to version 3.8 or 3.9, disable the use of version 3.6.1 in Kaspersky Endpoint Agent program policy.

If necessary, you can upgrade the Kaspersky Endpoint Agent that is already installed as part of Kaspersky Endpoint Security. Integration between compatible versions of the programs is maintained both when Kaspersky Endpoint Agent is upgraded and when Kaspersky Endpoint Security is upgraded. You can upgrade a previous version of Kaspersky Endpoint Agent to version 3.12 only for Kaspersky Endpoint Agent version 3.7 or newer.

Information about the compatibility of Kaspersky Endpoint Agent (Endpoint Sensors) versions with Kaspersky Endpoint Security versions is listed in the table below.

Compatibility of the Kaspersky Endpoint Agent (Endpoint Sensors) versions with Kaspersky Endpoint Security versions

Kaspersky Endpoint Security version	Compatibility with Endpoint Sensors 3.6.1	Compatibility with Endpoint Agent 3.8	Compatibility with Endpoint Agent 3.9	Compatibility with Endpoint Agent 3.10	Compatibility with Endpoint Agent 3.11	Compatibility with Endpoint Agent 3.12
KES 10 SP2 MR2	Yes	No	No	No	No	No
KES 10 SP2 MR3/MR4	Yes	Yes	Yes	No	No	No
KES 11.0.0	Yes	No	No	No	No	No

Compatibility of Kaspersky Endpoint Agent with versions of Kaspersky Security for Virtualization Light Agent

You can configure the integration of separately installed Kaspersky Endpoint Agent and Kaspersky Security for Virtualization Light Agent. When you upgrade the programs, integration between compatible versions is maintained.

Information about the compatibility of Kaspersky Endpoint Agent versions with Kaspersky Security for Virtualization Light Agent versions is listed in the table below.

Compatibility of Kaspersky Endpoint Agent versions and Kaspersky Security for Virtualization Light Agent versions

Kaspersky Security for Virtualization Light Agent version	Compatibility with Endpoint Sensors 3.6.1	Compatibility with Endpoint Agent 3.8	Compatibility with Endpoint Agent 3.9	Compatibility with Endpoint Agent 3.10	Compatibility with Endpoint Agent 3.11	Compatibility with Endpoint Agent 3.12
KSV LA 5.1	No	Yes	Yes	Yes	No	Yes
KSV LA 5.1.1	No	Yes	Yes	Yes	No	No
KSV LA 5.2	No	No	No	No	Yes	Yes

Cloning virtual machines with Endpoint Sensors program installed and Kaspersky Security for Virtualization Light Agent is not supported. Clone the virtual machine, generate a new SMBIOS GUID for it, then install the Endpoint Sensors program.

Kaspersky Endpoint Agent and Kaspersky Security for Virtualization Light Agent installed on a virtual machine generate the same load on the Central Node server as Kaspersky Endpoint Agent and Kaspersky Security for Virtualization Light Agent installed on the host.

For more details about enabling the integration of Kaspersky Endpoint Agent with Kaspersky Security for Virtualization Light Agent, see Kaspersky Security for Virtualization Light Agent Help.
