alice-teacher Installing Alice on the School Network

[Garth Flint]

We use Alice on lab computers.  One install covers all users.  The
students save their work on a network drive in their own profile with no
problems.

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

student under their login.  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.
