Kaspersky Embedded Systems Security for Linux

About updating Kaspersky Embedded Systems Security management plug-ins

The management plug-in for Kaspersky Embedded Systems Security is updated by installing the new version of the management plug-in. Depending on the Kaspersky Security Center administration console that you use, you have to install:

• Kaspersky Embedded Systems Security administration web plug-in
• Kaspersky Embedded Systems Security administration MMC plug-in

Policies and tasks configured for Kaspersky Embedded Systems Security 3.3 for Linux are not compatible with the updated version of the application. If you use the Kaspersky Security Center Administration Console to manage the application, then after updating the administration MMC plug-in, you can convert policies and tasks using the Kaspersky Security Center Policies and Tasks Batch Conversion Wizard (see more details in the Kaspersky Security Center Help).

The converted policies and tasks have names "<Original policy/task name> (converted)".

For most settings, converted policies and tasks use the values configured for the previous version of the application. Some settings are assigned special values. The settings that were not configured in the policies and tasks of the previous version take default values in the converted policies and tasks.

The procedure for converting policies and tasks is not available in Kaspersky Security Center Web Console. If you use the Web Console to manage the application, you must create new policies and tasks for the application in Kaspersky Security Center. You can migrate some values of settings of policies and tasks from a previous version of a policy or task to a new one by exporting and importing settings.

Management plug-ins of the previous version continue to work after installing the new version of Kaspersky Embedded Systems Security management plug-ins. You can use them to manage the previous version of Kaspersky Embedded Systems Security.

If you have updated the application on all client devices, you can uninstall the Kaspersky Embedded Systems Security management plug-ins of the previous version.
