Updating Kaspersky Thin Client

You can update Kaspersky Thin Client from version 2.0 or 2.0.1 to version 2.3.

Prior to updating Kaspersky Thin Client, do the following:

  1. Prepare a bootable USB drive containing the Linux distribution. We recommend using Linux Ubuntu (recommended version: Ubuntu 20.04).
  2. Make sure that the OpenSSL utility is installed on the system. If it is not installed, install it by running the following command:

    sudo apt install openssl

  3. Copy the following files from the Kaspersky Thin Client 2.3 distribution kit into one directory on the USB drive:
    • Archive containing the installation image for Kaspersky Thin Client: Kaspersky_Thin_Client_2.3.0.354_TN1200.tar.gz.
    • Installation and update scripts:
      • hw_install.sh
      • hw_update.sh
      • save_files.sh
      • restore_files.sh

To update Kaspersky Thin Client on a thin client:

  1. Insert the prepared bootable USB drive into the appropriate port on the thin client.
  2. Turn on the thin client and run the Ubuntu image from the bootable USB drive without installing the system on the thin client hard drive. To do so, select the Try without installation option.
  3. In the running operating system, go to the directory containing the scripts and the installation image of Kaspersky Thin Client 2.3.
  4. Run the update script by using the following command:

    sudo bash ./hw_update.sh -u <path to the archive containing the installation image of Kaspersky Thin Client>

    If the update script completed successfully, the message Updated OK! is displayed.

    If an error occurred while the script was running, contact Technical Support.

  5. Turn off the thin client and extract the bootable USB drive.

The update is finished. The next time you turn on the device, you will be able to use Kaspersky Thin Client 2.3.
