LAN installation
Make the folder where the product was installed readable through
your LAN. You can publish the folder at your local webserver, or
simply use file sharing. It does not matter how you do that
because our software is running on the client side only. There
are no special requirements on server OS and/or webserver because
nothing is being executed on the server side. To ensure the
license restrictions concerning copies we recommend to use a
webserver and turn off "directory browsing" ("automatic index
generation"). Then your LAN users cannot make workable copies of
the product using software such as WebZIP, Teleport, wget, etc.
Uninstallation
To completely uninstall MathAid's product just remove the folder
where it was installed. No specific uninstall procedure is required.
