Downloading distribution package of a security application

You must download the distribution package of a security application if you want to install the application on Windows devices or Mac devices that have no defined users (for example, on servers), or if you want to simultaneously protect multiple devices running Windows.

Also, after a new version of Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Mac is released, you must download and deliver the distribution package to your macOS users. Users can then install the new version of Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Mac on their devices. On devices with Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Windows, the security application is automatically updated to the new version.

A distribution package is valid for approximately 30 days. We recommend that you download the distribution package anew every time you plan to install the security application or deliver the distribution package to your users.

As an alternative, you can copy a link to a distribution package and send this link to another user in any convenient way. That user will download the distribution package by clicking the received link.

To download the distribution package of a security application:

1. Open Kaspersky Next Management Console.
2. Select the Distribution packages section.

   The Distribution packages section contains distribution packages of security applications for Windows and Mac devices. Email messages that you send to users also include a link to these packages.

3. If the required distribution package is not prepared, the Prepare button is displayed on the right. Click this button and prepare the distribution package.
4. If necessary, click the Proxy server link below the required distribution package and define the proxy server settings.
5. Next to the required distribution package, click the Download button.

   The distribution package will be downloaded to the computer in the default folder that is configured for saving downloaded files.

   To save the distribution package to a specific folder on the computer, you can select Save as in the context menu of the relevant distribution package. In the window that opens, specify the folder and file name.

The selected distribution package is downloaded.
