# Building Custom Clients During Early Access

The articles in the [FileWave Early Access Program](https://kb.filewave.com/books/downloads/chapter/filewave-early-access-program) pertain to FileWave releases that have <span class="s2">**successfully passed our internal Quality Assurance (QA) process**</span> but are not yet available as a general release to all customers. These articles and resources are published here to provide you with early access to important updates and features, allowing your organization to evaluate, test, and prepare for broader adoption. Once a release becomes generally available, these articles will be relocated to their standard locations in the Knowledge Base (KB), and normal release notifications will be distributed.

During the Early Access period, you can use the following links to build custom clients:

- <span class="s1">**macOS:**</span> [https://custom.filewave.com/py/beta-program/custom\_client\_mac.py](https://custom.filewave.com/py/beta-program/custom_client_mac.py)
- <span class="s1">**Windows:**</span> [https://custom.filewave.com/py/beta-program/custom\_client\_win.py](https://custom.filewave.com/py/beta-program/custom_client_win.py)

> <span class="s2">**Note:**</span> Custom client builds may not be available immediately for every version during the Early Access window. Please ignore any unsupported status messages shown by the beta build system; these builds are fully supported for Early Access testing. Ensure you select the correct client version to match your intended deployment.

## **Support**
