You can access SmartConsole functionality from any web browser using Web SmartConsole. Web SmartConsole and Windows SmartConsole can run in parallel, and any published update done on one of the applications will be reflected in the other application. The Web SmartConsole package is installed automatically on all relevant Check Point devices when Automatic Update downloads are enabled (see [sk175504](https://support.checkpoint.com/results/sk/sk175504), section 2-B). If Automatic Updates are disabled, you must first manually install the latest [AutoUpdater](https://support.checkpoint.com/results/sk/sk165653) Take and then install the Web SmartConsole package manually using the steps below. **To use Web SmartConsole** : Navigate in a web browser to `https:///smartconsole` Availability {#Availability} ---------------------------- |---------------------------|------------------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|-----------------------| | **Web SmartConsole Take** | **Release Date** | **Download package** | **Versions** | | Take 178 | 09 Aug 2026 | [![](https://sc1.checkpoint.com/sc/images/download-m.png)](https://support.checkpoint.com/results/download/144764) (TAR) | For R81.20 and higher | Manual Installation (Offline) {#Manual Installation} ---------------------------------------------------- Show / Hide Manual installation (Offline) **Instructions** : 1.
