Upgrading Kaspersky Security Center on the Kaspersky Security Center failover cluster nodes

You can install Administration Server version 14 on every Kaspersky Security Center failover cluster node where the Administration Server with an earlier version is installed (starting from version 13.2). When upgrading to version 14, all data and settings from the previous version of Administration Server are preserved.

If you previously installed Kaspersky Security Center on devices locally, you can also upgrade Kaspersky Security Center on these devices.

To upgrade Kaspersky Security Center on the Kaspersky Security Center failover cluster nodes:

1. Stop the cluster.
2. Perform the following actions on the active node of the cluster:
   1. Run the ksc_14_<build number>_full_<language>.exe executable file.

      A window opens and prompts you to select the Kaspersky applications to upgrade. In the application selection window, click the Install Kaspersky Security Center 14 Administration Server link to start the Administration Server Setup Wizard. Follow the instructions of the Wizard.

   2. Read the License Agreement and Privacy Policy. If you agree with all the terms of the License Agreement and the Privacy Policy, select the following check boxes in the I confirm I have fully read, understood, and accept the following section:
      • The terms and conditions of this EULA
      • Privacy Policy describing the handling of data

      Installation of the application on your device will continue after you select both check boxes.

      If you do not accept the License Agreement or Privacy Policy, click the Cancel button to cancel the upgrade.

   3. In the Type of installation on cluster window, select the node on which you are upgrading.

      Next, the installer configures and finishes upgrading the Administration Server. During the upgrade, you cannot change the Administration Server settings that were adjusted before the upgrade.

3. Perform the same actions on the passive node of the Kaspersky Security Center failover cluster as on the active node. If you chose the Microsoft Failover cluster (install on all cluster nodes) option in the Type of installation on cluster window, you do not need to run the installer and perform the current step.
4. Start the cluster.

As a result, you installed the Administration Server of the latest version on the Kaspersky Security Center failover cluster nodes.
