Numbershark 5 for Windows NETWORK
The installation of a Numbershark 5 network requires local admin rights to the server. The 4-stage process and links to MSIs are included in the
installation & migration instructions
below,
which are
identical for both
Wordshark and Numbershark.
Installation & migration instructions (Windows & CC4):
-
Standard Windows Network v5.006.01
-
Not compatible with Mac OSX
Licence:
Your whole-site Network Licence is for “Concurrent Users” NOT “number of clients”. You are permitted to deploy the program to every client computer on your network, and it may be used by all staff and students. The licence will indicate the maximum number of “Concurrent Users” allowed. The ability to activate/deactivate a licence is guaranteed for five years from initial date of purchase.
Overview:
- ACTIVATION will validate installation of the program on a single server
- The program can be deployed to every client on a single network
- The program limits concurrent use to the number shown on the licence
- Thin client / VPN access permitted
- The licence MUST first be DEACTIVATED if you intend to rename/rebuild the host server, or migrate to a new server
- A full licence does not expire, however, the ability to activate/deactivate a licence is guaranteed for five years from date of purchase.
4-stage install process:
- Create a folder & download self-extracting MSIs from the links provided. Run the S-Server MSI that creates a data folder wordshark-shared (which holds user and licence data), and bank-up program files onto your server.
-
Install a White Space Network Manager program which works with a linked service to manage licence activation and diagnostics, then activate the licence.
-
Deploy the program to wireless & frequently used client machines. Optionally, create desktop or start menu shortcut icons for remaining client machines.
-
Set up initial user accounts, test, document, and brief end users
