Installation using manually downloaded installer

The above procedure will always download a KOFF EXE file matching the version of the server. In some cases, you may want to install a different version than the server's, or you need the .MSI file.

1. Navigate to http://download.kerio.com/
2. Choose your preferred version from the dropdown
3. On the new page that gets displayed, notice that you have 3 options:
   
   
   1. KOFF 32-bit (MSI package)
   2. KOFF 64-bit (MSI package)
   3. KOFF Universal (EXE package)
4. Download the desired version, while keeping in mind that:
   1. The EXE file will automatically detect the Outlook architecture and install the required 32-bit or 64-bit version of KOFF
   2. MSI files are separate, and it is important to remember that the KOFF architecture needs to match the Outlook architecture. For example: Outlook 32-bit installed on Windows 64-bit will require KOFF 32-bit to be installed.
5. Once downloaded, proceed with the installation and follow the onscreen wizard.
6. After the installation, you must create a profile for each user. For more information, refer to Microsoft Support for Creating Profiles in MS Outlook.
