How does the Rapid software license work ?
A platform CD needs to be installed on every computer on which you intend to use
Rapid Reading Assistant. It is not networked.
If you have a single licence, you can install the platform CD on more than one computer, as long as you ensure that only one pupil is using Reading Assistant at one time.
In the same way, if you buy a 3-computer licence, you can install the Platform CDs on any number of computers. However, you must ensure that only three pupils are using
Rapid Reading Assistant at one time.
