Expand all | Collapse all

Kaspersky Thin Client can be updated only if the thin client is connected to Kaspersky Security Center.

Kaspersky Thin Client cannot be updated from version 1.5/1.6 to version 1.6.1 beta.

Available updates are downloaded to the thin client from the Kaspersky Security Center Administration Server or from Kaspersky update servers only after Kaspersky Security Center administrator approves these updates in the Web Console interface. If a new End User License Agreement is generated for the new Kaspersky Thin Client version, Kaspersky Security Center administrator accepts it in the Kaspersky Security Center Web Console interface. For detailed information on approving updates by the administrator, refer to the Approving and declining software updates section of the Kaspersky Security Center Online Help Guide. Additionally, Kaspersky Security Center administrator can configure regular checks for Kaspersky Thin Client updates (for details, refer to the Scenario: Regular updating Kaspersky databases and applications section of the Kaspersky Security Center Online Help Guide).

After the updates are downloaded to the device, the Kaspersky Thin Client interface displays a notification with the time when the update will be applied.

You can install an update in one of the following ways:

• Directly from the notification about the available update
  • If you want to install the update right now, click the Restart now button in the available update notification window.

    The updates will be installed, and Kaspersky Thin Client will restart.

  • If you want to install the updates later, click Later in the available update notification window. The update notification shows how long the update will be postponed for. The time of the postponed startup of the update is set by the administrator.

    The system restart and update will be postponed.

    If you ignore or close the Kaspersky Thin Client update notification several times, the update will be installed automatically.

• When restarting or turning off the thin client
  1. In the Kaspersky Thin Client control panel, click the shutdown button .
  2. Depending on whether you plan to quit or continue working with Kaspersky Thin Client after the update, do one of the following:
     • If you want to continue working, select Update and restart in the menu that opens.

       The updates will be installed, and Kaspersky Thin Client will restart.

     • If you want to quit working, select Update and shut down in the menu that opens.

       The updates will be installed, and Kaspersky Thin Client will shut down.

• In the System update section

  3. Click Install and restart. If no updates are available, the button is not displayed.
