Setting Up a Classroom Network
Please download this technical guide to help you set up a classroom network using SimCalc MathWorlds® for Computers.
Language
The first time you launch the software, you'll be asked to choose a language (a dialog will prompt you). Once you have chosen the language,
SimCalc MathWorlds® will re-launch itself. You will not see this dialog on subsequent launches.
User Level
When you install SimCalc MathWorlds® for Computers, the software is set to "full" level, which presents the user with full
access to the software. When you purchase a license, you will be provided 2 keys – "full" and "standard".
Standard level is a simplified version of the software, which takes away access to classroom management and authoring capabilities; this level
should be used for student computers.

Known Issues
- Notepad arrows hard to use on MacOS. [642]
- Intermittent minor Live Edit issues. [552]
- On the Windows version, once SimCalc MathWorlds is running, double-clicking a MathWorlds document in Windows Explorer will not open that document. Double-clicking works for opening a file on MathWorlds launch, but not while MathWorlds is running. [653]
- Derivative handling for sample functions is incomplete. [645]
- When using laptops to do connectivity "Sleep Mode" can sometimes interfere with communications if it cuts power to the network card. For connected classrooms it is best to disable any sleep or low power modes.
