alice-teacher Installing Alice on the School Network

[Don Slater]

See the following link:

I am not quite sure that I understand the question completely. You do not need to load a copy of Alice for each user of a machine, one copy per machine is sufficient (I believe that you understand this). If the issue is the preferences file for the users, the above link has instructions tonsure that each user has their own preferences file.

If you are asking if there can be one copy of Alice on the server that everyone accesses and runs Alice from the user, this is where Alice has been hit or miss. It may work, with some performance degradation, but I am personally not very hopeful.

Let me know if you have any other questions.

All the best,
Don Slater

I would like to have our IT department install Alice as network software but they are concerned because they don't know much about the software.  Any hints or directions on how to do this?  Anything I need to look out for?  I thought this might be a good time to move it to the network with Alice 2.4 instead of trying to upgrade all of these machines.
