Upgrading previous versions of administration plug-ins

You can upgrade administration plug-ins by using the following methods:

• Install new version administration plug-in from the list of available distribution packages in Administration Console of Kaspersky Security Center.

  The list of available distribution packages is updated automatically after new versions of Kaspersky applications are released.

• Download the distribution package from an external source and install new version administration plug-in using the EXE file.

  To upgrade Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Android and Kaspersky Device Management for iOS Administration Plug-ins, you need to download the latest version of the application from the web page of Kaspersky Security for Mobile and run the Setup Wizard for each of the two plug-ins. Previous versions of plug-ins are removed automatically during operation of the Installation Wizard.

Kaspersky experts recommend using the same version of the app and administration plug-ins.

When administration plug-ins are updated, the existing administration groups in the Managed devices folder and rules for the automatic allocation of devices from the Unassigned devices folder to these groups are saved. The existing group policies for mobile devices are also saved. New policy settings that implement the new functions of the Kaspersky Security for Mobile integrated solution will be added to the existing policies and will have the default values.

If new settings have been added or the default values have been changed in the new version of the administration plug-in, the changes will be applied only after a group policy is opened. Until the administrator opens a group policy, the settings of the previous version of the plug-in will be applied on mobile devices even if the plug-in version has been updated.

Upgrading from the list in Administration Console

To upgrade the administration plug-ins:

1. In the console tree, select Advanced → Remote installation → Installation packages.
2. In the workspace, select Additional actions → View current versions of Kaspersky applications.

   This opens the list of up-to-date versions of Kaspersky applications.

3. In the Mobile devices section, select the Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Android or Kaspersky Device Management for iOS plug-in.
4. Click Download distribution packages button.

   A plug-in distribution will be downloaded to computer memory (EXE file). Run the EXE file. Follow the instructions of the Installation Wizard.
