To start Kaspersky Update Utility from the command line, run the uu-console.sh file and use the following parameters:

-t	Enabling tracing.
-d	Enable dump files to be created when the application crashes.
-s	Enable silent mode (no messages displayed).
-r	Enable report generation.
-h	Display a description of the parameters.

When starting the application from the command line for the first time, read carefully the Kaspersky Lab End User License Agreement in the file license.txt, the Product and Services Privacy Policy in the file license.txt, and the Kaspersky Security Network Statement in the file ksn.txt Press Y on the keyboard if you agree with all the points.

To change whether or not you consent to participate in the Kaspersky Security Network, open the updater.ini file in a text editor and set the value of the AgreedWithKsn parameter to equal:

• true, if you agree with the Kaspersky Security Network Statement.
• false, if you do not agree with the Kaspersky Security Network Statement.
