Windows Network Installation

All of our programs come on a dual platform CD-ROM that runs on a Windows PC or a Macintosh computer. A Single user license requires the installation CD in the CD-ROM in order to run. The Lab Pack and Site License versions of the software can be installed on multiple workstations or in one location on any kind of network server. By installing the software on a network server, all the student's marks will be stored in the same location.

Registration

You will be prompted to enter a license number. Locate the license number on the sticker in your program package and type it into the space provided.

Note: For the character Ø, make sure you type the number zero, and not the letter "o".

Running the Program

• Novell 4.x or older users will need long file name support installed. Turning off the Hardware acceleration on all the workstations can improve the performance.

• The program needs read / write / create rights in the Essential Skills directory and all it’s subfolders.

• The workstations will be able to run the program directly from the file server. This can be done by mapping a drive to the server and creating a shortcut to The Program.exe in the Essential Skills folder from the desktop of the workstations.

Note: It is recommended that the video display be set to High Color (16 bit) or True Color (32 bit).
