- Make sure to check the boxes for the Edge and Chrome browser extensions. This allows LanSchool to limit web browsing in these browsers.
- If desired, enable WIFI SSID Whitelisting. When enabled, you will need to enter the desire websites by typing them in the lower box and clicking Add. When this is enabled, students will be restricted to those sites and all other sites will be blocked. This can be edited at any time in the teacher application, so you can add sites as needed. Click Next.
- Leave the box “connect student to connection server” unchecked.
- Do not check “enable a security mode.” Click next.
- Check “ don't send problem reports.” Click next
- Click Install. Click Finish to complete the installation.
- Enter your license key, which is found on the “Classic Licensing” page where you downloaded the install files. Hit OK.
- Reboot your computer to complete the process.
If you were updating LanSchool Classic, there is no need to change the student LanSchool installations. If this is a first time install, you will need to locate the Student.msi file at the same location where you found Teacher.msi. Place the Student.msi file on a USB flash drive, and install it on each student computer. Make sure the computers are first thawed in Deep Freeze, and make sure to use the same channel number (1234).
