How to upgrade the application

The application is updated automatically if you select the option in the settings window for updates to be performed automatically (Settings → Additional → Update → Run mode for database updates).

The application is automatically updated if you install a new version of the application over the previous one.

If you have a current subscription for a previous version of Kaspersky Security Cloud, you do not need to activate the application. The Setup and Removal Wizard will automatically retrieve information about the subscription for the previous version of Kaspersky Security Cloud and apply it during installation of Kaspersky Security Cloud.

While downloading the update, the application compares the previous and new versions of the End User License Agreement, Kaspersky Security Network Statement, and Statement regarding data processing for marketing purposes. If the agreements and/or statements differ, the application offers you to read and accept them again.

The application can be upgraded if the following versions of Kaspersky Security Cloud are installed on your computer:

• Kaspersky Security Cloud 1
• Kaspersky Security Cloud 2
• Kaspersky Security Cloud 3
