# Alternative methods for accessing the SMC Client

As an alternative to downloading and installing the SMC Client on each workstation that an administrator uses, you can run the SMC Client in a web browser, or you can download the SMC Client from the Management Server.

- Web Access — You can enable the feature on the Management Server or Web Access Server. Administrators log on to the SMC Client on a web page, and the SMC Client runs as an HTML5 application in the web browser. The web browser is the only requirement on the workstation.
- SMC downloads — You can enable the feature on the Management Server. Administrators download and install the SMC Client from the SMC Downloads web page.
