Kaspersky Security for Windows Server deprecated?


Go to solution Solved by Demiad,

Let's make it clear, as Kaspersky Security for Windows Server is not available for download anymore:

Is Kaspersky Security for Windows Server v11.0.1.897 a deprecated/obsolete product and for new installations on servers we should use Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Windows, the same which we use on workstations?

@MarkNN hello.

You can download KSWS from this page:
https://www.kaspersky.com/small-to-medium-business-security/downloads/virtualization-hybrid-cloud

The term of support period depends on the licence:

Now you should use KES instead KSWS.

The migration scenario is presented in the online-help:

Thank you. I've asked this question, because I didn't find the official statement about KSWS retirement.

Lifecycle information, removed download, migration instructions, and also long period since last update (2021) are clear indicators, but clear information from Kaspersky should be in place, as this program is used on production servers.

So in conclusion, new installations on servers should be based on Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Windows and current installations of Kaspersky Security for Windows Server should be migrated to it.

I recently opened a support ticket for KSWS 11.0.1.897, and was told that Kaspersky Security for Servers will soon be unavailable and no longer supported.

Likewise, they recommended that I install Kaspersky Endpoint Security and that they can only help me with KSWS as limited support.
