About updating Light Agent for Windows 5.2

If you were using the Light Agent for Windows component included in Kaspersky Security for Virtualization 5.2 Light Agent, you need to switch to using the Light Agent for Windows that is part of the Kaspersky Security for Virtualization 6.2 Light Agent solution. To do so:

  1. Remove Light Agent for Windows 5.2 from virtual machines and virtual machine templates (for details, see the Kaspersky Security for Virtualization 5.2 Light Agent Help).
  2. Install the Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Windows application in Light Agent mode, and Network Agent on virtual machines and virtual machine templates.
  3. If you use Kaspersky Security Center Administration Console to manage solution components, you can convert policies and virus scan tasks configured for Light Agent for Windows 5.2. Settings are converted using the Kaspersky Security Center Policies and Tasks Batch Conversion Wizard (for more details, see the Kaspersky Security Center Help).

    Converted policies and tasks use the settings of the policies and tasks for Light Agent for Windows 5.2. Settings not present in policies and tasks in version 5.2 take default values in the converted policies and tasks. The converted policies and tasks have names "<Original policy/task name> (converted)".

    To use a converted policy, change its status to Active.

  4. Remove the policies for the Protection Server and Light Agent for Windows 5.2 along with the remaining Kaspersky Security for Virtualization 5.2 Light Agent application components:
