Introducing 1E Client

The 1E Client provides client functionality for Shopping, WakeUp, Content Distribution, and 1E.

1E Client features and modules overview

Many features and modules are optionally enabled and configured. The 1E Client can also be extended to support additional features and client modules.

Windows devices: The 1E Client is installed as a Windows service, with a small footprint, with some client modules having their own service if enabled.
Non-Windows devices: The 1E Client is installed as a background daemon, also referred to as a service on macOS.

1E Client does not include modules for 1E NightWatchman Agent, which is available as a separate agent. However, NightWatchman Management Center optionally integrates with 1E to provide online status of its clients.

Constraints of Legacy OS

In this documentation, the following are referred to as legacy OS. Below are described some known issues for these OS.

1E does not provide support for 1E products on the following OS unless the OS is explicitly listed as being supported for a specific 1E product or product feature. This is because Microsoft has ended mainstream support for these OS or they are not significantly used by business organizations.

Windows XP * Windows Vista Windows 7 Windows 8.0 Windows 8.1	Windows Server 2003 * Windows Server 2008 Windows Server 2008 R2 Windows Server 2012 Windows Server 2012 R2

1E Client 24.5 and later will not install on Windows XP and Windows Server 2003. Please contact 1E if you intend to continue using any of the other legacy OS. If you experience an issue, then please try replicating the issue on a supported OS.
