Copying a link to a distribution package

As an alternative to downloading a distribution package from Management Console, you can copy a link to a distribution package and send this link in any convenient way. Use this method if you want another user to install the application on devices running Windows, macOS, or Linux that have no defined users (for example, on servers), or to simultaneously protect multiple devices running Windows.

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

The link is identical for the distribution packages of Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Windows and Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Mac. It means that if you need to download both security applications, you can copy the link only once.

A distribution package is valid for approximately 30 days. We recommend that you copy a link anew every time you want users to install the security application.

To copy a link to a distribution package:

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

   The Distribution packages section contains distribution packages of security applications for devices running Windows, macOS, and Linux.

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. Next to the required distribution package, click the vertical ellipsis, and then click Copy link.

   The vertical ellipsis is available only if the most recent distribution package for the security application has been prepared.

5. If you copy the link to the distribution package of Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Linux, the Copy link for download window opens. Select the package format and the operating system bit size for which you want to copy the link to the distribution package, and then click the Copy link button. You can only select one of the options that you selected when you prepared the distribution package.

   To copy the link to one more prepared distribution package, repeat the above-mentioned procedure.

The link to the distribution package is copied to the Clipboard. You can now send this link to another user in any convenient way.
