Special considerations when setting parameter values when updating the application

If you use Kaspersky Security Center Administration Console to manage the application, you can convert policies and tasks to use the values of policy and task settings configured for the previous version of the application (for more information, see the Kaspersky Security Center Help). The procedure for converting policies and tasks is not available in Kaspersky Security Center Web Console.

After updating the application using the command line, most settings carry over from the previous version of the application. You can also migrate application settings by exporting settings to a file and then importing them from that file.

Default values are assigned to settings that did not exist in the previous version of the application. Some settings are assigned special values.

Kaspersky Security Network settings

After converting a policy in the MMC plug-in, the Kaspersky Security Network settings in the policy properties depend on whether you accepted or rejected the terms of the Kaspersky Security Network Statement in the Policies and Tasks Batch Conversion Wizard:

• If you accepted the terms of the Statement, the Extended KSN mode option is selected.
• If you rejected the terms of the Statement, the Do not use KSN option is selected.

The conversion of policies is not supported by the web plug-in.

After upgrading the application on the command line, the UseKSN setting is set to No if when updating you set KESL_USE_KSN=No, and UseKSN=Extended is applied if you set KESL_USE_KSN=Yes. In other cases, the value of the UseKSN setting does not change after the update.

Cloud mode settings

After converting a policy in the MMC plug-in, the settings for using cloud mode may change depending on whether you accepted or rejected the terms of the Kaspersky Security Network Statement in the Policies and Tasks Batch Conversion Wizard:

• If you accepted the terms of the Statement, the Enable cloud mode check box will be selected.
• If you rejected the terms of the Statement, the Enable cloud mode check box will be cleared.

The conversion of policies is not supported by the web plug-in.

After updating the application on the command line, CloudMode is set to:

• CloudMode=No if UseKSN=No after the upgrade.
• CloudMode=Yes if UseKSN=Basic/Extended was set after the update and CloudMode=Yes was set before the update.

Cloud mode is available if use of KSN is enabled. To enable cloud mode:

• If using the MMC or web plug-in, select the Extended KSN mode option and select the Enable cloud mode check box.
• When using the command line, set the UseKSN parameter to Basic or Extended and the CloudMode parameter to Yes.
