Most schools using Windows infrastructure will find the network version will offer greatest educational functionality and price for use with school networked computers: An increasing number of school networked computers have “group policies” that prevent the running of our single-user disks and USB products.

• The network version permits students to log on to any machine and access their own user data, lists and records.
• The network version simplifies teacher administration.
• Unlike the “stand-alone” version there is no need for a DVD to be in the local DVD drive
• The network version may be used for networked computers that do not have a DVD drive, and in organisations where access to CD / DVD drives is “locked down” for restricted users.

Our programs run on standard Windows networks, plus many proprietary “front end” systems including:

Ergo Free2Teach      R.M. plc systems       Viglen Classlink      Securus PC   Ranger      CSE

Please contact us if you have a different proprietary “front end”.

Issues & Comments:

Terminal Services / Citrix Thin Client Networks/ Remote Desktop+Server2012 and Virtualisation: Recent releases work well, and can allow home/school access. Please see “System Reqs” tab for further details

We do not supply or support Mac or hybrid Mac+PC networks. Attempting to run these is likely to result in  functionality and data loss.

Administration of the programs:

We advise that the network version is administered by 2-3 “Administrators”, but that all education staff are signed in as “Teachers” (“Sub-administrators” in v4), for increased security and a more streamlined menu.
