Only Kaspersky Endpoint Security 11.4.0 for Linux can be updated to Kaspersky Endpoint Security 12.0 for Linux.
Upgrading earlier Kaspersky Endpoint Security versions to version 12.0 is not supported. If you have an earlier version of Kaspersky Endpoint Security installed, you need to first uninstall it and then install Kaspersky Endpoint Security 12.0 for Linux.
During an update of Kaspersky Endpoint Security, standalone mode is selected automatically. If you plan to use Kaspersky Endpoint Security 12.0 for Linux in Light Agent mode to protect virtual environments (as part of the Kaspersky Security for Virtualization Light Agent solution), you need to first uninstall the previous version of the application and then install Kaspersky Endpoint Security 12.0 for Linux.
You need to prepare to install before installing Kaspersky Endpoint Security.
You can update Kaspersky Endpoint Security 12.0 for Linux in one of the following ways:
During the update, the application settings and the application log are migrated to the new version of the application. If the transfer of application settings fails for any reason, the application is set to the default values.
If an error occurs while updating the application, the update is rolled back and the previous version of the application is started. In this case, an error message will be displayed, but the package manager (rpm/dpkg) will indicate the new version.
Even if Kaspersky Endpoint Security is launched before the update process start, if the update is completed successfully, a new application version is launched.
After updating the application, you need to run the Database Update task.
