Upgrading the application from the command line

You can upgrade Kaspersky Endpoint Security 11 for Linux to Kaspersky Endpoint Security 11.1.0 for Linux locally by performing the procedure below.

Before upgrading the application, you must accept the End User License Agreement (/opt/kaspersky/kesl/doc/license.<language ID>) and Privacy Policy (/opt/kaspersky/kesl/doc/license.<language ID>). If you do not agree to the End User License Agreement and / or Privacy Policy, the application will not be upgraded.

A restart of the operating system or application may be required after the upgrade procedure is complete.

To upgrade the application:

  1. Run the required Kaspersky Endpoint Security 11.1.0 for Linux package installation:
    • RPM package:

      # rpm -U <rpm package name>.rpm

    • DEB package:

      # dpkg -i <deb package name>.deb

    If the End User License Agreement, the Privacy Policy, or the Kaspersky Security Network Statement were updated, the application installation completes with error. The application unpacks the files that contain the new versions of these documents in all available for this version languages to the home directory of the current user (~/.kesl/<application version>/).

  2. If the End User License Agreement was updated, read the new version of the document located in your home directory (~/.kesl/<application version>/license.<language ID>).

    If you are agree with the text of the End User License Agreement, specify the environment variable by executing the following command:

    • # KESL_EULA_AGREED=yes rpm -U <rpm package name>.rpm for a rpm package.
    • # KESL_EULA_AGREED=yes dpkg -i <deb package name>.deb for a deb package.
  3. If the Privacy Policy was updated, read the new version of the document located in your home directory (~/.kesl/<application version>/license.<language ID>).

    If you are agree with the text of the Privacy Policy, specify the environment variable by executing the following command:

    • # KESL_PRIVACY_POLICY_AGREED=yes rpm -U <rpm package name>.rpm for a rpm package.
    • # KESL_PRIVACY_POLICY_AGREED=yes dpkg -i <deb package name>.deb for a deb package.
  4. If the Kaspersky Security Network Statement was updated, read the new version of the document located in your home directory (~/.kesl/<application version>/ksn_license.<language ID>).

    If you are agree with the text of the Kaspersky Security Network Statement, specify the environment variable:

    • # KESL_USE_KSN=yes rpm -U <rpm package name>.rpm for a rpm package.
    • # KESL_USE_KSN=yes dpkg -i <deb package name>.deb for a deb package.

    If you do not agree with the text of the Kaspersky Security Network Statement, specify the environment variable:

    • # KESL_USE_KSN=no rpm -U <rpm package name>.rpm for a rpm package.
    • # KESL_USE_KSN=no dpkg -i <deb package name>.deb for a deb package.

    Refusal to participate in Kaspersky Security Network does not interrupt the Kaspersky Endpoint Security update process. You can enable, disable, or change the Kaspersky Security Network mode at any time.

    Kaspersky Endpoint Security 11 for Linux settings and event log are exported.

  5. Restart the application.
  6. If necessary, restart the operating system.

If an error occurs during the application upgrade procedure, the application is automatically restored to the previous version. An error message is displayed.

If the transfer of application settings fails for any reason, the application is set to the default values.
