About upgrading Kaspersky Security Center

This section contains information on how to upgrade Kaspersky Security Center from a previous version. You can upgrade Kaspersky Security Center in different ways, depending on whether Kaspersky Security Center was installed locally or on the Kaspersky Security Center failover cluster nodes.

During the upgrade, concurrent use of the DBMS by Administration Server and another application is strictly forbidden.

When you upgrade Kaspersky Security Center from a previous version, all the installed plug-ins of supported Kaspersky applications are kept. The Administration Server plug-in and Network Agent plug-in are upgraded automatically (both for the Administration Console and Kaspersky Security Center Web Console).
