Rep Power: 0  | The best way is to obtain a network deployment disc from promethean. I think that they will charge you around £25:00 for it.  There is also a thread on here somwhere with instruction on how to deploy via msi, I did follow the instructions in the thread with variying results, but eventually procurred myself a copy of prometheans disc which i have had no problems with so far... |

Rep Power: 0 | Here is the thread I was referring to GUIDE: Promethean ACTIV software MSI conversion steps As i said I have had varied results using this method. You would be better off in my opinion getting the network disc from promethean... |

Rep Power: 4 | Surely the disk should be available for download on the website as a iso. Version 3 is a free download so charging £25 just because it’s the network version smells of greed. |

Rep Power: 0 | BEWARE installing ActivPrimary via servers. I installed is as a stand alone and then another tech installed id through the server. Result was when the server went down, ActivPrimary didnt work in any of the classrooms. Its a pain having to install as stand alone, but trust me, you really dont want teachers after your hide if they can't use the IWBs for a few days. (In this particular school's case, the server was out of action for three weeks.) |

Rep Power: 13 | I did it with teh downloadable stuff, no need to order a CD. IIRC the driver deploys as is and the studio only needs the serial adding to the msi/mst. |
