School Licensing
Single station school licenses permit an unlimited number of records to be kept while using the UltraKey software on one workstation. The teacher may install the software on a teacher workstation too.

Multi-station licenses include network use. This means that the UltraKey program can be installed and operated network application servers, terminal servers and workstations as the school deems appropriate.Unlimited site licenses allow unlimited use throughout the site but not off-site.

Licensing is not concurrent. As many station-licenses must be purchased as there are stations on which the software may be used in the site.

Centralized record management capability depends on the type of license purchased.

	Standalone Plus licensing is for schools who do not require centralized learning management. UltraKey can still be installed on workstations or operated from a network server. Records can be stored locally or in student workspaces on the server but teachers cannot access all the records and options in one place.

	Network IP licensing provides the ultimate class management using the UltraKey Data Server software, which communicates with UltraKey through Internet protocol (IP) over any LAN, WAN or the Internet. Teachers can review class progress and change settings anywhere at school or home.

Laptop Initiative licenses permit schools to install UltraKey on school-owned laptops. Students may take the laptops home and use UltraKey at home. Latop Initiative licensing includes UltraKey's unique IP-based technology to collect performance data and manage learning wherever the student is learning.

Teachers may install and operate the UltraKey program on teacher workstations at school and at home to manage UltraKey instruction. Teacher installations are not counted in the license scope.

All UltraKey licenses are cross-platform. UltraKey may be installed or used on any combination of Windows and Macintosh workstations as long as the total installation does not exceed the license.

One-year licenses are available to fit limited budgets.

All other licenses are permanent and include free technical support and updates.
