Deploying administration plug-ins

To manage mobile devices in Kaspersky Security Center Web Console, the following administration plug-ins must be installed:

• Kaspersky Security for Mobile (Devices) plug-in
• Kaspersky Security for Mobile (Policies) plug-in

If you are using Kaspersky Security Center Cloud Console, you do not need to install the administration plug-ins. You only need to create an account in Kaspersky Security Center Cloud Console. For more information about creating an account, please refer to Kaspersky Security Center Cloud Console Help.

You can use the following methods to install administration plug-ins:

• By using the Quick Start Wizard of Kaspersky Security Center Web Console.

  Kaspersky Security Center Web Console automatically prompts you to run the Quick Start Wizard after Administration Server installation, at the first connection to it. You can also start the Quick Start Wizard manually at any time.

  For more information on the Quick Start Wizard for Kaspersky Security Center, please refer to Kaspersky Security Center Help.

• By using the list of available distribution packages in Kaspersky Security Center Web Console.

  The list of available distribution packages is updated automatically after new versions of Kaspersky applications are released.
