## Client Installation

The client software is installed on the server by default. You can install the client software on multiple PCs for users to access the SM server.

| We recommend a maximum of 15 concurrent SM client users.

The SM client integrates with and uses Windows Domain Security Groups and User Rights, configurable on a user and/or group basis.

Install SM Client:

1. Copy the installation files located in the following folder on the SM server to the user’s PC:
   `C:\Philips Dynalite\System Manager\System Manager Client`

2. Run `setup.exe` on the user’s PC.

3. In Windows, click System Manager to open the SM client.

Optional Client Applications:

- System Manager Switch - a lightweight Windows application that provides users with control of local lighting channels (See the System Manager Switch User Guide).
