In this chapter you find information for IT administrators about how to install and configure the Worksheet Crafter.
License Model
In this chapter we assume that your school is using a flexible school license where you may use the customer portal to create and remove licenses for individual teachers. This is the only license model available for new orders by schools since end of 2019.
Before there was a "small" and "big" school license with only one license key for all teachers. In this chapter those old license types are referenced as "the old school license".
Internet Access via Proxy Server
In most cases the Worksheet Crafter can connect to the internet by automatically getting the connection settings from the operating system. Only for specific proxy configurations it may be necessary to set up the connection via Worksheet Crafters' admin.ini. Here is how you do that.
