Q. What is a site license?

A. A site license allows you to install unlimited copies of the software for use within one school building. It is the most cost effective option for schools with labs or where many students will use the software. You can use the software on any number of computers that you own today or acquire at a future date.

Q. My school has several campuses, do I need to buy a site license for each campus?

A. Yes, you will need to buy more than one site license. Our site license policy does not cover remote campuses.

Q. I have a mixed lab of Macintosh and PC computers, do I need to purchase a site license for each platform?

A. No, our current versions of both MicroWorlds 2.0 and MicroWorlds Pro and MicroWorlds EX  both ship as hybrid Win/Mac versions.

Q. What is a lab pack?

A. A low-cost option for schools with a small number of computers. MicroWorlds 2.0 offers a 6-User Lab Pack while MicroWorlds Pro offers a 5-User and a 10-User package. My Make Believe Castle and My Make Believe Treasure Isle offer 5-User and 25-User Lab Packs. Other language versions offer different formats for lab packs. Please check when ordering.

Q. What is a set?

A. A set is designed for individual use on one computer. (whether at school or at home).

Q. Can my students use the software at home?

A. Students aren't allowed to use the software at home. MicroWorlds comes with a "player version" that allows students to view their projects at home, but they are not able to modify the software. We do offer a "Home Use Option" to schools that have a registered LCSI site license. For more information go to Home Use Option.
