This package is designed to be installed on individual PC hard drives either directly or remotely, or you can install on a school network. One of the advantages of eMapshop is its speed versus web based maps. It will run okay on a network but it runs fastest when installed on individual PC hard drives. With a School site license agreement, feel free to install it on as many computers within your school as you like.
