The Classic Client, also known as the Legacy Client, is the original game client that was released with the launch of Ultima Online in September 1997. It has low computer specifications compared to modern PC games. It is still a popular client to use playing Ultima Online and especially so among veteran players.

Double-click the saved file. It should be named UOClassicSetup_7_0_24_0.exe or something similar (the number indicate the client version).

When the patcher is finished the "Play" button will illuminate and allow you to press it.
Each time the client is launched it always launches the patching software first to ensure you are running the most up to date version.
Login Screen
