License: user profile vs. computer


Hi Ulli,

we installed the school license of Cinderella in our computer lab. Now we experience the problem that the license is only installed in the admin's user profile. Other users on the same computer only have the evaluation license.

Is it possible to install the school license for all users on a computer?

Best regards,

Christian

Christian,

yes, this is easily possible. The user's license (and the other preferences as well) is stored in a file called cinderella2-user.properties. On startup, Cinderella looks for the files

  • cinderella2.properties and
  • cinderella2-global.properties

in the installation folder. The first of these is a default file that is installed by the installer (and may be changed with updates, so you should not change it). The second one does not exists usually, but you can copy a user preferences file to that location and rename it. In that case, assuming that all computers in your network use the same Cinderella installation, the user's license will be used by all machines.

All the best,

Ulli
