Installing Kaspersky Security Center (Standard installation)

This procedure describes how to install Kaspersky Security Center. Before installation, you must install a database management system.

To install Kaspersky Security Center:

1. Under an account with administrative privileges, run the ksc_<build number>_full_<localization language>.exe executable file.
2. In the application selection window that opens, click Install Kaspersky Security Center.

   The Kaspersky Security Center Administration Server setup wizard starts.

3. Beginning with the Welcome page, proceed through the wizard by using the Next button.
4. If Microsoft .NET Framework is not installed, install it.
5. Accept the terms of the License Agreement and the Privacy Policy.
6. Select the installation type. For evaluation purposes, we recommend that you keep the default Standard value.
7. If you want to install Kaspersky Security Center Web Console on the same device, select the Install Kaspersky Security Center Web Console check box.

   If you clear the check box, you can later install Kaspersky Security Center Web Console separately on the same or another device.

8. Select the size of your network. For evaluation purposes, we recommend that you keep the default Fewer than 100 networked devices value.
9. Select the type of database server that you installed earlier.
10. Specify the connection parameters for the database server that you installed earlier.
11. Specify the authentication parameters for the database server that you installed earlier.
12. Click the Install button to start the installation.
13. After the installation successfully completes, choose whether or not you want to start Administration Console right after you close the wizard.

    If you choose to open Kaspersky Security Center Web Console, the login screen will open. Then you will be able to perform the initial configuration of the Administration Server by using the quick start wizard.

    You can open Kaspersky Security Center Web Console only if it is already installed. You cannot open Kaspersky Security Center Web Console if you did not install it during the installation of Kaspersky Security Center or separately.

14. In the Administration Console window that opens, click the installed Administration Server.
15. In the Administration Server certificate window that opens, click the Yes button to continue.

The Administration Server quick start wizard starts if you did not run it in the web-based Administration Console.

Troubleshooting

If the Administration Server certificate window does not open and connection errors are displayed, try the following:

1. In Windows, open Services (Control Panel → Administrative Tools → Services). Check that Kaspersky Security Center Network Agent and Kaspersky Security Center Administration Server services are running.
2. In Windows, open Event Viewer (Control Panel → Administrative Tools → Event Viewer), and then select Applications and Services Logs → Kaspersky Event Log. Make sure that the log does not contain errors and contains events like Administration Server <version number> is running.
