[Athen] Networking AT Software

[Jean Wells]

John,

 

Certainly.  Please have that someone ask for Daminna Standfield.  She does
most of our server work.

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.
