To update Kaspersky Thin Client to version 2.0, you must obtain an archive containing the database updates from Kaspersky experts. Upload the obtained archive to the Kaspersky Security Center Web Console (hereinafter also referred to as Web Console), and then create, configure, and run a task to download updates to the Kaspersky Security Center Administration Server (hereinafter also referred to as Server) repository in the Web Console interface.
One Kaspersky Security Center Administration Server can have only one active update task with one priority update source. For this reason, you are advised to use a separate Server for managing thin clients so that you can receive critical security patches from Kaspersky update servers.
