[!INCLUDEappliesto-ss-xxxx-xxxx-xxx-md] Client tools such as [!INCLUDEssManStudioFull] are shared features common across all instances on the same machine. They are backward compatible, with supported [!INCLUDEssNoVersion] versions that can be installed side by side. Only one version of the client tool exists on a node at a time.
If the [!INCLUDEssNoVersion] client tools are installed during setup on first node of the [!INCLUDEssNoVersion] cluster, they are automatically added to any nodes that may be added later to the instance of [!INCLUDEssNoVersion] using Add Node.
Important
[!INCLUDEssNoVersion] Books Online is not automatically added to the additional nodes added to the [!INCLUDEssNoVersion] cluster using Add Node. [!INCLUDEssNoVersion] Books Online can be installed manually on the nodes that you wish to have a local copy of [!INCLUDEssNoVersion] Books Online.
If you do not install the [!INCLUDEssNoVersion] client tools during the initial installation of the [!INCLUDEssNoVersion] cluster, you can install it later as described in the procedures below.
Installing [!INCLUDEssNoVersion] Client Tools Using the Setup User Interface
-
Insert the [!INCLUDEssNoVersion] installation media. From the root installation folder, double click Setup.exe. To install from the network share, locate the root folder on the share, and then double-click Setup.exe.
-
On the Installation page, click New [!INCLUDEssNoVersion] stand-alone installation or add Features to an existing installation. Do not click New [!INCLUDEssNoVersion] failover cluster installation.
-
The system configuration checker verifies the system state of your computer before Setup will continue.
-
On the Installation Type page, click Perform a new installation of [!INCLUDEssCurrent].
-
On the Feature Selection page, select the tools that you want to install and follow through the rest of the steps of the Setup process.

Uninstalling [!INCLUDEssNoVersion] Client Tools
