Transferring application settings and data when upgrading to version 9.0 Maintenance Release 5

Updating the Management Console component

On the computer with only Management Console installed, the Installation Wizard only performs the update of Management Console. The Installation Wizard installs no Security Server modules on this computer.

Application settings do not change after Management Console is updated. The settings of the Microsoft Management Console interface take their default values.

Updating the Security Server component

On the computer with Security Server installed, the Installation Wizard updates all Security Server modules.

During an update, the Installation Wizard transfers the values of settings and data from the previous version of the application to the new version as follows:

• The license for the previous version of the application remains effective for the new version. The end date of the license validity period remains unchanged.
• The Backup and statistics database connected to the application will be upgraded to 9.0 Maintenance Release 5.

  If you do not upgrade the application but remove it and then install 9.0 Maintenance Release 5 instead, the previous version of the Backup and statistics database will not be upgraded to 9.0 Maintenance Release 5, which will make it inoperable in the application.

• The application automatically transfers the white list and black list of Anti-Spam addresses from the first updated server of the DAG group to all other servers of the DAG group.

  If you are using different white lists or black lists of Anti-Spam addresses for different servers of the DAG (applicable for application version 9.0 Maintenance Release 2), you are advised to export the lists of Anti-Spam addresses from all servers of the group to files and import the saved lists to the first server of the group prior to upgrading the application. During the update, this list will be applied to all servers of the group. You can also synchronize the white lists / black lists of Anti-Spam addresses in the PowerShell environment for all servers of the DAG group with the white lists / black lists of the first server of the DAG group.

• The use of Kaspersky Security Network is disabled automatically. If you are planning to use KSN, you must accept the terms of the Kaspersky Security Network Statement in the KSN Settings section of the Settings node. The KSN usage settings in Anti-Virus and in Anti-Spam remain unchanged after the application is upgraded.

  Upgrading the application does not affect the settings for use of Kaspersky Private Security Network.

• The values of other application settings defined in the previous version will be applied without changes to the corresponding settings in the new version.
• Backup and statistical data will be preserved.
