That brilliant, rolled it all out now so I'm just waiting on the keys arriving

Quick question for those of you using EES, I was wondering whether you get MAK and/or KMS keys provided? I'm preparing to rebuild every computer with WDS but since the EES pack hasn't arrived yet I'm not sure what activation options I'm going to have, looking at the calender I can't afford to make assumptions at this point

Thanks for that, I installed them today without any problems, I was pleasently surprised by the quality of the image. Regarding the upgrade where would I find the serial number on these boards? We didn't install them origionally and there's nothing left onsite, the product code on the top left is PRM-AB264-01 and here is a picture: #

Hi there I was wondering if anyone could advise me ActiView compatibility. A school we work for has purchased some ActiView units but I just want to check they're suitable before opening them. At the moment the PCs are running ActivPrimary, the ones I've checked are on V3. Upon looking at the Promethean website is says it "works with all ActivBoards (using ActivInspire)". Does this mean the units will be incompatible? Also if needed could I download ActivInspire using the boards serial numbers? They look quite old, they're orange frames and projectors. Sorry if any of these seems like silly questions, I've never used ActiViews before and there's surprisingly little information available online.

Cheers for that guys, got as far as installing handwriting recognition only for the handwriting tablet on the language bar not to work. Turns out Office 2003 SP3 breaks handwriting recognition, the fix was to copy PENUSA.dll from a machine without SP3, this fixed it and everything is working fine now.

Hi there, I've been asked by a customer to find a way for them to use handwriting recognition in Office 2003 running on Windows XP. From what I can tell for this to work they'd need to be running Tablet PC edition. I was just wondering whether anyone has come across this and came up with a solution, I know ActivInspire allows you to use handwriting recognition within itself but really I need it to be within Office.

Brilliant thats sorted it thanks, the drive was ok, but I'd missed the 2008 in the connect.ini

Cheers, thats got the client installed, but its fails to logon giving reason 0. Any idea what that is?

I was wondering if anyone could give me a quick guide on how to install Sims client on a workstation from scratch. It's coming on 3 years since I last did this and needless to say I can't remember much other than I think I had to edit a Sims.ini? Looking in the setups folder it's installers galore Tried asking Capita but they want money to even talk to me, the school I'm at today recently had it installed by them, which was great because we didn't have to do it but now that I need to change out a workstation it's become complicated and they've left nothing at all on site for reference.

Thanks guys, in the end it seems they were happy with the Promethean Software anyway. Wouldn't be surprised if they end up using the Smart software now I'm gone though Smart apparently stopped selling the licenses for other boards a few months back, otherwise that would have been perfect.

I was just wondering if anyone could enlighten me as the the current level of compatibility between the two products. Due to circumstances beyond my control 4 Promethean boards have been put into a school that is currently entirely Smart. The teachers have gigabytes of lessons in Smart format and will want to use them on the Promethean boards should they have to move classrooms etc. I'm actually impressed really, almost everywhere I've been with whiteboards they only use them to move to the next PowerPoint slide. I have noticed that there is a Smart Notebook viewer and that you can apparently covert to flipcharts with ActivInspire but what about using Promethean flipcharts on a Smartboard? Am I looking too far into this and is it just a case of having the correct driver? I've been thrown right back in at the deep end here Haven't had to touch whiteboards in years and first step back in trying to sort out this. I can't even get onsite at the moment to test things.

As far as I know now the server mail1.cumbria.cleo.net.uk is toast, so anyone who had outlook pointing at that will have to change it.

Apparently webmail (but not Outlook) is back up now, unfortunately the SGD remote access is down now so I cant check.

I'm having a problem with Netsupport School V9, its well over a year since I touched this software so I've unfortunatly forgotten much of what I used to know. I have a room with 20 PCs and out of those the tutor will not connect to 4 of them. I've checked that the firewall service is disabled and VNC allows you to connect to these machines, I then disabled VNC just in case but still it wont connect. Anyone have an ideas on what could be causing this? The connection method I'm using is the default TCP/IP port method.

The latest Ultra VNC client works fine with Vista, just make sure you let it download the Vista drivers during install.
