Kaspersky Security Center 13 Web Console Build 13.0.10253
Kaspersky Security Center is a single administration console for managing your

Kaspersky security solutions and system administration tools. It makes every
endpoint and device on your network more visible, simplifies IT administration
tasks, and helps to reduce operating costs and increase productivity.
This application version can be used both for initial installation of Kaspersky
Security Center 13 and for upgrades of earlier versions.
A new version of Kaspersky Security Center Web Console is released together with
Kaspersky Security Center 13.
Kaspersky Security Center 13 Web Console is a web application that runs
concurrently with Kaspersky Security Center 13 to manage the status of the security
system of organization networks protected by Kaspersky applications.
==============================================================================
INSTALLING Kaspersky Security Center 13
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To install the application:
1) Before installing Administration Server, make sure that you have Microsoft .NET
Framework installed and have a database management system (DBMS) that is accessible
for the Administration Server installer.
2) Install Administration Server and Administration Console. To activate the
Vulnerability and Patch Management feature and the Mobile Device Management
feature, enter the activation code of the corresponding license in the Quick Start
Wizard.
3) Install and configure the selected components, such as Exchange ActiveSync
Server and iOS MDM Server.
4) Create a task for remote installation of Network Agent 13 on your organization’s
devices: a group task or a task for specific devices. Run the task manually or
according to a schedule. After the task is completed, Network Agent will be updated
on client devices.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To upgrade the application:
1) Read this document carefully and determine whether you need this upgrade.
2) Back up Administration Server data by using the klbackup.exe utility or the
Administration Server backup tasks.
3) Run Kaspersky Security Center 13 installation on a device with the previous
Administration Server version installed and perform the Administration Server
upgrade. Backward compatibility with older versions is supported. After the
upgrade, data related to the previous version of Administration Server is saved.
4) Create a task for remote installation of Network Agent 13 on your organization’s
devices: a group task or a task for specific devices. Run the task manually or
according to a schedule. After the task is completed, Network Agent will be updated
on client devices.
For installation in silent mode (for example, for distribution through Kaspersky
Security Center), run the executable file with the –s key.
How to verify that Kaspersky Security Center 13 is installed
Generate the Kaspersky software version report and make sure that in the "Version
number" field, version 13 is displayed.

IMPROVEMENTS
Kaspersky Security Center 13 has several new features and improvements.

When working with tables, you can now specify the order and the width of columns,
sort data, and specify the page size.
You can now open any report by clicking its name.
Kaspersky Security Center 13 Web Console is now available in the Korean language.
A new section, Kaspersky announcements, is available in the MONITORING & REPORTING
menu. This section keeps you informed by providing information related to your
version of Kaspersky Security Center and the managed applications installed on the
managed devices. Kaspersky Security Center periodically updates the information in
this section by removing outdated announcements and adding new information.
However, you can disable Kaspersky announcements if you want.
2) Kaspersky Security Center

ensure seamless switching of managed iOS devices after the iOS MDM Server
certificate expires.
