KasperskyOS Community Edition versions

KasperskyOS Community Edition is distributed in two different versions:

Versions differ in the contents of their End User License Agreement, file and differ in the specific information that they automatically transmit to Kaspersky servers when a solution is built using CMake libraries from the SDK.

Data provision in KasperskyOS Community Edition

The version of KasperskyOS Community Edition downloaded from the Russian-language website automatically transmits the following information to Kaspersky servers when a solution build is started:

  • Number of the installed version of KasperskyOS Community Edition.
  • Unique hardware ID consisting of the checksum of the creation date of the directory /opt/KasperskyOS-Community-Edition-<version>.

The version of KasperskyOS Community Edition downloaded from the English-language website automatically transmits the following information to Kaspersky servers when a solution build is started:

  • Number of the installed version of KasperskyOS Community Edition.

In addition to data transmission during the solution build process, both versions also check for the availability of a newer version of KasperskyOS Community Edition.

If there is no active Internet connection, the solution build occurs without transmitting data or checking for updates.

You can disable the check for SDK updates and transmission of SDK version information to the Kaspersky server by using the NO_NEW_VERSION_CHECK parameter of the CMake command initialize_platform() during the solution build.

Data is transmitted to account for the number of users of KasperskyOS Community Edition and to obtain information about the distribution and use of KasperskyOS Community Edition.

Any received information is protected by Kaspersky in accordance with the requirements established by law and in accordance with current Kaspersky regulations. Data is transmitted over encrypted communication channels.
