Updating Kerio Control Box NG series using a USB flash drive
You can upgrade the system in your Kerio Control NG box with a USB flash drive.
The update tool is designed for a single use. An operation does not repeat if you restart with the flash drive still in the USB port. Once you perform the operation unplug the flash drive.
All data and settings remain preserved after the upgrade.
WARNING
There are two types of USB flash drives on the market. Kerio Control NG 500 requires a flash drive formatted with a master boot record (MBR). USB drives with floppy-type formatting cannot connect to Kerio Control NG 500, but can be reconfigured to work. See Formatting a USB flash drive with MBR.
Upgrading Kerio Control
- Insert the flash drive into a USB port on your computer.

- Download and save the kerio-control-usbupgrade file to the flash drive.
- Switch off the Kerio Control box.
