Kaspersky Endpoint Agent 3.16 compatibility with the previous versions of Kaspersky Endpoint Agent

If Endpoint Sensor version 3.6.X is installed and used on the device as part of Kaspersky Endpoint Security, Endpoint Sensor must be disabled before installing Kaspersky Endpoint Agent in order to avoid possible conflicts between the applications.

Kaspersky Endpoint Agent 3.16 can be installed as part of Kaspersky Endpoint Security on a device with Endpoint Sensor version 3.5 or lower. The applications work independently without conflicts.

Kaspersky Endpoint Agent can be updated for application versions installed both as part of the Endpoint Protection Platform application and separately. If Kaspersky Endpoint Agent is installed separately, only version 3.8 and later can be updated. The update can be performed by installing the new version.

The Kaspersky Endpoint Agent 3.16 administration plug-in and the Kaspersky Endpoint Agent 3.16 web plug-in are compatible with Kaspersky Endpoint Agent versions 3.11 and higher.
