Removing the application

Kaspersky Industrial CyberSecurity for Networks is uninstalled by using the application installation script kics4net-deploy-<application version number>.bundle.sh. This script lets you remove individual nodes of the Server or sensors or fully uninstall the current version of the application as well as previous versions (beginning with version 2.0).

For application removal, the script kics4net-deploy-<application version number>.bundle.sh uses the installation settings file that was saved on the computer. If the installation settings file on this computer is corrupt or missing from its original folder, the application installation script searches for a copy of the file on the computer and on other computers that have application components installed.

To remove individual nodes that perform functions of the Server or sensors:

  1. Run the application installation script by completing steps 1–4 of the installation procedure.
  2. In the menu for selecting the installation option, select Edit settings of current installation.

    The main installation menu appears on the screen.

  3. Depending on the necessary result, perform the following actions:
    • Use the Remove Server menu item to remove a Server node.

      After removing the Server node, you need to add a different Server node to ensure proper performance of the application.

    • Use the Remove sensor menu item to remove a sensor node (if multiple sensors have been added to the application, select the relevant node in the list of nodes that have added sensors).
  4. When finished configuring the settings, select Save settings and start installation.
  5. In the SSH password and SUDO password invitations, enter the password for the user account that is used to perform the uninstallation.

Wait for completion of the script kics4net-deploy-<application version number>.bundle.sh.

To completely uninstall the application:

  1. Run the application installation script by completing steps 1–4 of the installation procedure.
  2. In the menu for selecting the installation option, select Edit settings of current installation.

    The main installation menu appears on the screen.

  3. Use the Remove Server menu item to remove a Server node.
  4. If sensors have been added to the application, use the Remove sensor menu item to sequentially remove all nodes of sensors.
  5. Use the Removal settings menu item to configure advanced settings for uninstallation. When this item is selected, the following prompts are displayed:
    • Remove the application together with data. If you want to delete all data saved by the application in the system, enter y. If you do not need to remove the data, enter n.
    • Remove Network Agent. If you want to remove the Kaspersky Security Center component Network Agent, enter y. If you do not need to remove this component, enter n. This prompt is displayed if an installed Network Agent is detected.
  6. Select Save settings and start installation.
  7. In the SSH password and SUDO password invitations, enter the password of the user performing the removal.

Wait for completion of the script kics4net-deploy-<application version number>.bundle.sh.

Removal of Kaspersky Industrial CyberSecurity for Networks does not automatically delete the additional files from the distribution kit that were manually copied to the computer (for example, the Kaspersky Industrial CyberSecurity for Networks API package). If necessary, these files can be manually deleted.
