Operating System and Installation Notes

Active Math will run on any 32bit version of Microsoft Windows, from Windows 95 through to and including Vista and the current beta release of Windows 7.

When installing on XP or Vista boxes, please note that the dll's on your machine will be later than those shipped on the Active Math CD. Whenever your are prompted to select keep or replace, always opt to keep the (later) version already on your system.

Hardware Requirements

Designed to run on a Win95 box with a 640x480 display, the hardware requirements are not onerous. Shipped on a single CD, the install package is less than 10 MB, of which the product executable is only 468KB.

Available Editions

Active Math (Home Edition) installs from a CD on to a single PC. It is easy to use and is designed for families or very small organizations with only a single PC or a small number of PC's which are not networked;

Active Math Professional requires professional installation. From the student perspective the product seems almost identical to Active Math Lite, but the database, which forms the back end of the product, is located on a file server. In this configuration, the front end application can be installed on a number of client machines in a lab or classroom, and regardless of where a student sits in the lab, his or her records remain intact, because they are all stored on the file server.
