[Athen] Thoughts on K3000 Web Enabled licenses?

[Kevin M Carini]

I agree with Todd's response to both the positives and frustrations.  We use the Network version, Web Based License, and the Kurzweil USB here at Madison Area Technical College.  We have eliminated the License-To-Go.  We have been using the Web Based License and the Kurzweil USB for about 6 months now ourselves.  Since we are a commuter college, the web based license and the Kurzweil USB have been quite a success.  We also use Kurzweil heavily for our text conversion so the use of a web based license and USB is very convenient for the students.

Subject: [Athen] Thoughts on K3000 Web Enabled licenses?

Hello,
We currently host our own K3000 license server here at MSU; However, we are looking at moving to Kurzweil's Web Enabled model. 
Can anyone speak to the pros and cons of the web enabled implementation?
If we could get out from under needing to manage the licenses here, while still maintaining all administration abilities we are already used to, that would be great. I assume features like Licenses to Go are still available?
Thanks,
