[Athen] Networking AT Software

[John Elmer]

Jean,

The new Strategic Technology Plan for our campus (one of 3 campuses in our 
district) calls for doing exactly what you have done.  Our district IT 
dept will be doing this for us.  Might I refer them to you when the time 
comes for at least a brief overview and a "heads up" on any pitfalls you 
may have experienced?

Hi Lorna,
 
I’ve been running JAWS, K3000 and ZT successfully for over a year.  I also 
have voice profiles of Dragon on the server so users can benefit from not 
having to transport their profiles as they move around campus.  All of 
this has really made my task easier and now we have AT available on all 
computers.

Hi Lorna,
We have developed a basic AT build that serves out licenses for JAWS, ZT, 
Read and Write Gold, and WYNN.  It makes the AT available most places on 
campus via the student's campus log-in: we just add their account to the 
users (we've had some difficulty with the dorms...).
 
  Everything seems to run fine, although of course it is slower in 
loading.  Having the server doing the license checking is sweet, and doing 
upgrades and patches is easier. 
 
I cannot address K3000 as we are not currently using that software.
 
Best,
Cath

ATHEN,
I'm throwing this out to ATHEN guru's:
Are most of the commonly used programs i.e., JAWS, Kurzweil 3000, ZoomText 
run on a server to # of users or is the JAWS software individually 
installed on SSD student lab computers or both? 
We've installed JAWS on one IT server, and want to network (SSD owned) 
current JAWS licensing (10 seats) for use around campus labs. Also 
thinking to do the same with Kurzweil and ZoomText. 
Your input is appreciated. Thanks.
