Basic Server Setup | Essential Skills

To install Essential Skills software so that it runs from a server, with student data shared among all client workstations:

Install the software on your server from the DVD:
1. Insert DVD into your computer.
2. Locate and run the Setup/Install file on the DVD-ROM.
3. Enter the license code(s) found in your DVD packaging.
Ensure the installation folder is a mapped or mounted volume on your student’s workstations
Copy a shortcut/alias to your student’s desktop from the server.

In this configuration, all the program media files are served from the single server. On some networks, this may be too slow when many students are using the software at once. In that case, see the client / server setup instructions.

Note: The software will not function properly unless it has unrestricted permissions to its program and data folders. See the permissions guide for more information.

What Customers Are Saying About Our Products

I am an early childhood intervention teacher and regularly use the programs from Essential Skills. I like the pacing, feedback and reinforcement. The children work independently at their own level and rate of learning. I highly recommend these programs to other teachers.

I have children using the programs all the time. They are very student friendly. These programs are great to supplement core classroom curriculum. Even the younger developmental children are able to work independently. I recommend your programs to all new teachers who come into my class. If you are going to order anything, begin with these because they are the most useful.
