# System administration

With DocuWare 7.14 and later all configurations elements of DocuWare Administration are moved to the browser-based DocuWare Configurations or to the app DocuWare Server Manager. The former desktop app “DocuWare Administration” is therefore discontinued.

- Read more about [DocuWare Configurations](/help/docs/docuware-configuration-overview).

The DocuWare Server Manager replaces the DocuWare Administration and DocuWare Service Control, providing a single app for all on-premises server administration.

#### Up to DocuWare version 7.13

DocuWare Administration covers primarily the administration and maintenance of the DocuWare Server, which is required for a DocuWare on-premises system.
