Kaspersky Embedded Systems Security for Linux

Updating the application from a previous version

You can update Kaspersky Embedded Systems Security 3.3 for Linux to Kaspersky Embedded Systems Security 3.4 for Linux.

You need to prepare for installation before updating Kaspersky Embedded Systems Security.

The application update procedure involves the following steps:

  1. Updating the Kaspersky Security Center Network Agent

    If you are managing Kaspersky Embedded Systems Security using Kaspersky Security Center, you must update the Network Agent on the protected devices. The update is performed by installing a new version of Network Agent.

    If the Network Agent is not updated, the application cannot be managed using Kaspersky Security Center.

    On a device running the Astra Linux Special Edition operating system, we recommend to update Network Agent remotely using Kaspersky Security Center, since updating using the command line in the Kaspersky Security Center administration console creates a new copy of the same managed device, and the old one becomes inaccessible.

    The application continues working correctly during the Network Agent update.

  2. Updating the Kaspersky Embedded Systems Security management plug-in

    If you are managing Kaspersky Embedded Systems Security using Kaspersky Security Center, you must update the Kaspersky Embedded Systems Security administration web plug-in or MMC plug-in, depending on the console that you are using to manage Kaspersky Security Center.

  3. Updating the application and graphical user interface on protected devices

    You must update the application installed on protected devices. If you are using the application GUI, you also need to update the GUI.

    You can update the application and the application's graphical user interface in the following ways:

If an error occurs while updating the application, the update is rolled back and the previous version of the application is started. In this case, an error message will be displayed, but the package manager (rpm/dpkg) will indicate the new version.

Even if Kaspersky Embedded Systems Security is launched before the update process start, if the update is completed successfully, a new application version is launched.

When you update the application to a newer version, the dump files of the previous version are deleted.

After updating the application, it is recommended to run the database update task.
