Quite good, difficult to be too technical in an hour!

We used a company called INCO Link at the bottom of our website... Home / MGS - Maidstone Grammar School its a very feature rich CMS Steve

How can that be? surely your only buying one set of apps for all your iPads? I can't see that being either legal or allowed by Apple? BTW this isn't an anti Apple rant, its a genune enquiry as to how you manage multiple (30+) iPads Steve

How do you configure and support more than five units? I thought that you could only connect a maximum of five Ipads to one itunnes installation?

I'd be looking for the desktop pack also, based on 132 FTE...

Don't scare them too much!

In ability to deploy apps to more than one machine, read his blog he's hitting issues with having to pay for the same app for each new user of the same device!

That's odd, I had a similar conversation with my 18 year old stapson, he said they don't need to learn skills anymore as they can just Google everything??? I did say that a plumber trying to stop a leak might disagree or even a soldier in the field!

bit more here:- http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserver2008/en/us/licensing-faq.aspx#extconn inc the following on EC licenses:- Q. When do I need a Windows External Connector (EC) license? A. An EC license is not mandatory. It is a licensing option available to address a specific customer scenario. When you need to allow your business partners or customers to access your network, you have two choices: You can acquire Windows Server 2008 CALs for each of your external users, or You can acquire External Connector licenses for each Windows Server that those external users will access. Q. For which Windows servers do I acquire EC licenses? A. External Connector licenses should be acquired for each Windows server that the external user is accessing (not just for the server to which they are authenticating). Q. Who qualifies as an External User? A. An external user is a person who is not an employee, or similar personnel of the company or its affiliates, and is not someone to whom you provide hosted services using the server software. Q. If a student accesses a school's network, is the student considered an External User? A. Yes, and thus the student can be covered under an External Connector license.
