Home Catalogue Software Kurzweil 3000 Kurzweil 3000 for Windows

Multi-user Network options offer an economical way to purchase the Kurzweil 3000 program, if your site has computers networked together with a file server

Available now in Australia and New Zealand.

For the purposes of cumulative licence pricing, the program must be purchased by a specific entity or “site”. This would include a single district, school, university or college etc. The “site” should have a central point of contact and purchase orders should come from one primary source or contact.

The Network Edition of Kurzweil 3000 for Windows allows students to log on from any networked computer running Kurzweil 3000 and access their personal settings and files. Educators and network administrators can centrally track student usage and progress and control the number of licences in use.

The Network Edition software may be installed on an unlimited number of computers within a network, however, the number of users simultaneously operating the software at a given time is strictly limited to the number of licences purchased.

In addition, the Licence-to-Go feature allows granting of licences to users’ laptop computers, so users can access Kurzweil 3000 without being connected to the network. As a result, teachers and students benefit alike by accessing Kurzweil 3000 in or out of the classroom. For instance, if a teacher wants to take work home or have a meeting with a student’s parents to show Kurzweil 3000, or if a student needs to do homework, Kurzweil 3000 is available whenever and wherever they are.

Kurzweil 3000 Network Edition Features include:

• Licence-to-Go
  Licence-to-Go provides an easy way for network users to access Kurzweil 3000 without being physically connected to the network. Schools can grant licences “to go” to any computer, enabling usage of Kurzweil 3000 on that computer in or out of the classroom – whether at the library, resource room or even at home. Teachers or IT administrators can control the usage of the licence by specifying the length of time that the licence remains valid.

  A licence can be issued for up to one year. The licence term options are Hours (1 to 23 hours), Day (1 to 6 days), Week (1 to 4 weeks) or Month (1 to 12 months). When a licence is granted to the Client machine, the Network Engine machine has one less licence available for access.

  To activate Licence-to-Go initially, the computer must be physically connected to the network. For computers that cannot be connected to the network in order to activate Licence-to-Go, there is Remote Licence-to-Go which generates a code based on the computer a student is using. The code can be entered manually or emailed to the student to grant a licence of a specific product for a specific period of time. For Remote Licence-to-Go, there is a Remote Client DVD that a student must take home to install Kurzweil 3000. Schools are allowed to make additional copies of the Remote Client DVD.

  It is important to note that when a licence is granted to the Client machine, the Server machine has one less licence available for access.

  In the Kurzweil 3000 Administrator, there is a Licence-to-Go status option that tracks who has checked out licences, when they checked out the licence and when the licence expires. When the licence expires, the Client can no longer use the licence since the Network Engine has automatically regained the licence. Users can also check in their licences at any time prior to its expiration.

• Remote Network Administration
  Since Version 9, administering Kurzweil 3000 over a large network is even easier than before. It’s now possible to install the Administrator on a computer separate from the Kurzweil 3000 Server, then remotely perform a variety of Administrator tasks, from Licence Management and adding/removing accounts to disconnecting users and sending messages.

• Login Option
  The login option includes the option for users to select which product type (Professional Colour, Professional Black-and-White, LearnStation) to run on their client system when they login. Therefore, if they know they won’t be needing or using any of the scanning features, they can run a LearnStation rather than tying up a Professional licence, resulting in more effective use of Kurzweil 3000 licences.

• Letter Writing Tools
  This feature, which is similar to a mail merge, allows teachers to create, for example, weekly parent letters that detail a student’s interactions with Kurzweil 3000. The Create/Edit Form Letter Template and the Generate Letters features are accessible from the Reports menu in the Kurzweil 3000 Server Administrator program.

• More Logs Added to Help Teachers Track Student Progress
  Logs include Word Help, which shows the words that users/students have looked up.

• Additional Network Management and Usage Features
  
  • The ability by users to select the Kurzweil 3000 product they need in the Client software.
    
  • The ability to suppress user name list, also part of the User Logon and Client Options setup, enables IT administrators to not let users see other user names on the Client.
    
  • Adding multiple user accounts from a master file, enables IT administrators to list users in a .txt file, then in the Add New Users dialog, add the file.
    

Web Licensing Edition

This edition is now available in Australia and New Zealand

In this edition, licence tracking takes place via the Internet, not via the local area network and the organisation’s server. Client machines communicate via the Internet to a licence server hosted by Cambium. This allows an organisation to efficiently pool their concurrent licences by tracking all of them from a central location. This is particularly useful for sites with installations on multiple servers.

With the installation of Kurzweil 3000 Version 12 Web License Edition teachers and program administrators have the ability to assign tasks for students, receive scores upon completion, and track general usage data. At the same time, students can now access coursework from any Internet computer that has Kurzweil 3000 client software installed; in addition to having access to course content and material from the Web Universal Library “cloud-based” storage.

Kurzweil 3000 Version 12 Web License Edition makes use of Voyager VPORT, a robust management system, to handle license set up and account activation, school and student setup, and assignment and usage reporting services. By linking VPORT management functions with a new, Web Universal Library, “cloud-based” storage service, Kurzweil 3000 will now be able to maintain and host student assignments while providing results and reports directly to teachers.
