Transferring application settings and data when upgrading to version 9.0 Maintenance Release 7

It is not recommended to edit the profile settings if the application update was not completed on all computers included in the profile.

If you used a proxy server to connect the application to the Kaspersky Security Network Anti-Spam Service, Enforced Anti-Spam Updates Service, Kaspersky update sources and activation servers prior to updating the application, you must check the application database update settings and the proxy server settings and make appropriate changes to the application, infrastructure, or proxy server settings if necessary.

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 7.

  If you do not upgrade the application but remove it and then install 9.0 Maintenance Release 7 instead, the previous version of the Backup and statistics database will not be upgraded to 9.0 Maintenance Release 7, which will make it inoperable in the application.

• The application automatically transfers the Anti-Spam address allowlists and denylists from the first updated server of the DAG group to all other servers 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.
