Preparing the distribution package of a security application

You can download the distribution package of a security application or copy a link to the distribution package only if you first prepared the distribution package. Preparing a distribution package includes accepting the terms of the following documents for the security application: End User License Agreement (EULA), Privacy Policy, and Kaspersky Security Network Statement. If you accepted the terms of these documents when you first opened Kaspersky Next Management Console, the distribution packages are prepared.

To prepare a distribution package after the first opening of Management Console:

1. Open Kaspersky Next Management Console.
2. Select the Distribution packages section.

   The Distribution packages section contains distribution packages of security applications for Windows and Mac devices.

3. In the block of the required distribution package, click the Prepare button.

   If the distribution package has already been prepared, the Download button is displayed on the right. No further actions are required.

4. If an old version of the security application is found, the application prompts you to remove this version. Click the I agree button to remove the old version of the security application.

   The Agreements for <security application> window opens.

   This window displays the texts of the End User License Agreement for the security application, the End User License Agreement for Kaspersky Security Center Network Agent, the Supplemental Clauses regarding Data Processing (only for Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Windows), and the link to the Kaspersky Lab Products and Services Privacy Policy.

5. Carefully read the text of each document.

   If you agree to the terms and conditions of the agreements, and if you are aware and agree that your data will be handled and transmitted (including to third countries) as described in the Privacy Policy, and you confirm that you have fully read and understand the Privacy Policy, select the check boxes next to the listed documents, and then click the I accept the terms button.

   If you do not agree to the terms and conditions, do not use the security applications. If only some of the check boxes are selected, you will not be able to download the distribution package. The Agreements for <security application> window will close.

   The proxy server settings window opens.

6. If necessary, define the proxy server settings, and then click Next.

   The Use of Kaspersky Security Network window opens.

7. Carefully read the Kaspersky Security Network Statement, and then click the I accept the terms button if you agree to them.

   If you click the I decline button, the use of Kaspersky Security Network will be disabled. If you want, you can enable the use of Kaspersky Security Network in the Management Console at any time.

The distribution package is prepared.

You can now download the distribution package or copy the link to the distribution package.

Some time after the distribution package for Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Windows is prepared, the security application on managed devices is automatically updated to the new version. As soon as the automatic update starts, Kaspersky Next displays a notification in the Information panel section. Also, the Distribution packages section displays the status of the automatic update—Package pending (waiting for the distribution package preparation), Pending (waiting for Kaspersky), In progress, or Completed.

Users of macOS devices must install the new version of Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Mac on their devices manually.
