Users of 1C are able to work not only in a web browser, but also in the 1C client desktop application, called "platform", which could be installed on PCs and laptops:

Installer's variants:

a) 32-bit and 64-bit versions.

32 bit OS is for old PC with system type 32-bit operating system, x86-bit based processor (check System type it in This PC > Properties):

64 bit OS is for PC with system type 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor (check System type it in This PC > Properties):


b) Thick client and Thin Client:

1С Thick client means that all data operations are performed directly at the user's workplace, and the data itself is stored on the server, where the client application requests it.
Such a client can perform almost all functions and work with application data types.
The main thing that it has a Designer mode, so it is possible to work with extensions, etc.

1C Thin Client means that on the server, in addition to data storage, almost all program code, queries, temporary files and cache are executed.
At this workplace, the user only enters the initial data and sees the result displayed on his monitor.
