»Description of Solution
Solution:
In a computer lab setting with a network server available; it's often much easier to install Inspiration on the network server instead of on each individual computer. Installing on the server saves time and ensures that all students are accessing the same resources. To install Inspiration on your server; begin by logging in as network administrator from a workstation. Admin-level access is required for the install to work properly. Next; run the installer program on the Inspiration CD-ROM. When the installer gets to the section where it asks you to Choose Destination Location. click on the Browse button. Browse to your network server and choose it as the installation destination. It's strongly recommended that you install Inspiration to its own folder so that setting permissions will be easier. Finish the installation process; at which point Inspiration will start. Enter your name; organization and serial number in the dialog that displays to complete the install. Once you've finished installing; you will need to change the security permissions for the Inspiration folder and all items inside it to make it possible for more than one person to use Inspiration at the same time. Using your network software's standard procedure; change the permissions on the Inspiration folder for both users and groups to either Read & Execute; Read & Filescan or Read Only (depending on the server software you use.) Make sure they don't have write access to the Inspiration folder. After setting these permissions; create a shortcut or alias for the Inspiration application and place this shortcut/alias on each workstation. To test; log in to one workstation as a member of one of the groups to which you gave Read; Read & Execute; or Read & Filescan permissions. On another workstation; log in as a different member of one of those groups. Start Inspiration on each workstation. If all is set up correctly; Inspiration should start on both.
