Install/Remove: Security

Security > Install/Remove

The Install/Remove page installs or removes security protection for selected machine IDs. The list of machine IDs displayed depends on the Machine ID / Group ID filter and machine groups the administrator is authorized to see using System > Group Access. Installation requires a reboot of the managed machine.

Each installation of security protection on a managed machine uses up one annual Kaseya Endpoint Security license. The number of annual licenses available depends on the total number of annual licenses purchased and allocated to each group ID. Licenses are allocated to group IDs using System > License Manager.

The page provides you with four actions:

  • Install - Install Kaseya Endpoint Security on selected machine IDs.

    Warning::Uninstall all anti-virus/spyware/malware software on the managed machine before installing Kaseya Endpoint Security client software.

  • Remove - Remove Kaseya Endpoint Security on selected machine IDs.
  • Cancel Pending Operation - Cancel either of the first two actions, if they have not yet been completed.
  • Edit User Prompts - Edit the warning prompt displayed to users, if a warning prompt is displayed. You can also specify the number of minutes the user is allowed to postpone installation.
