Prior to installing Kaspersky Endpoint Security and Kaspersky Security Center Network Agent on the SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 15 operating system, the insserv-compat package must be installed.

Prior to installing Kaspersky Security Center Network Agent on the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9 operating system, install the initscripts system package.

The perl-Getopt-Long package needs to be installed for Kaspersky Endpoint Security to work on the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 and RED OS operating systems.

On the Red Hat Enterprise Linux and RED OS operating systems, the perl-File-Copy package, which is required for running the application's initial configuration script, may be missing by default. This package needs to be installed before you install Kaspersky Endpoint Security.

By default, Astra Linux operating systems block ptrace (Disable ptrace capability), which may affect the operation of Kaspersky Endpoint Security. For Kaspersky Endpoint Security to work correctly, unblock ptrace when installing Astra Linux. If Astra Linux is already installed, see the Astra Linux Help Center website for instructions on how to enable/disable this mode (Configuring protection and blocking mechanisms in the Blocking ptrace section).

Due to technical limitations of fanotify, the application does not support the following file systems: autofs, binfmt_misc, cgroup, configfs, debugfs, devpts, devtmpfs, fuse, fuse.gvfsd-fuse, gvfs, hugetlbfs, mqueue, nfsd, proc, parsecfs, pipefs, pstore, usbfs, rpc_pipefs, securityfs, selinuxfs, sysfs, tracefs.

For the Kaspersky Endpoint Security administration plug-in to work, Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 Redistributable Update 3 RC must be installed (see https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=52685).

Supported versions of Kaspersky Security Center

Kaspersky Endpoint Security is compatible with the following Kaspersky Security Center versions:

• Kaspersky Security Center 12. The MMC administration plug-in can be used to administer Kaspersky Endpoint Security via Administration Console.
• Kaspersky Security Center 13.2. The MMC administration plug-in can be used to administer Kaspersky Endpoint Security via Administration Console.
• Kaspersky Security Center 14. Kaspersky Endpoint Security can be administered through Administration Console using the MMC administration plug-in and through Kaspersky Security Center Web Console using the web administration plug-in.
• Kaspersky Security Center 14 Linux. The web administration plug-in can be used to administer Kaspersky Endpoint Security through Kaspersky Security Center Web Console.

  Kaspersky Security Center Linux includes a version of Administration Server intended for installation on a device running the Linux operating system. Kaspersky Security Center Linux interacts with Administration Server through Kaspersky Security Center Web Console.

  Some functionality of Kaspersky Security Center, e.g. features tied to Kaspersky Security Network, are unavailable in Kaspersky Security Center Linux. You can manage use of Kaspersky Security Network through Kaspersky Security Center running on Windows.

  For more information about Kaspersky Security Center Linux, see its documentation.

Kaspersky Security Center Administration Agent, which is included in the Kaspersky Endpoint Security distribution kit, is used to manage Kaspersky Endpoint Security through Kaspersky Security Center.
