Installation of Kaspersky Security Center

This section describes local installation of Kaspersky Security Center components. Two installation options are available:

• Standard. This option is recommended if you want to try out Kaspersky Security Center by, for example, testing its operation on a small area within your network. During standard installation, you only configure the database. You can also install only the default set of management plug-ins for Kaspersky applications. You can also use standard installation if you already have some experience working with Kaspersky Security Center and are able to specify all relevant settings after standard installation.
• Custom. This option is recommended if you plan to modify the Kaspersky Security Center settings, such as a path to the shared folder, accounts and ports for connection to the Administration Server, and database settings. Custom installation enables you to specify which Kaspersky management plug-ins to install. If necessary, you can start custom installation in silent mode.

If at least one Administration Server is installed on the network, Servers can be installed on other devices remotely through the remote installation task using forced installation. When creating the remote installation task, you must use the Administration Server installation package.

You can use one of the following installation package types:

• ksc_<version_number>.<build number>_full_<localization language>.exe. Contains the full set of components to install. Use this package if you want to install all the components required for full functionality of Kaspersky Security Center, or to upgrade the current versions of these components.
• ksc_<version_number>.<build number>_lite_<localization language>.exe. Contains the minimum set of components required for Kaspersky Security Center to function. For example, this package does not contain any management plug-ins of Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Windows.

  Use this installation package in the following cases:

  • You want to upgrade Administration Server.
  • You already have installed the components required for full functionality of Kaspersky Security Center, and you intend to continue to use existing versions of these components.
  • You want to use Kaspersky Security Center with limited functionality.
  • You intend to use Kaspersky Security Center in enterprises where internet traffic is limited and distribution kits are downloaded separately.
