There are no special requirements on server OS because nothing is executed on the server side.

WEB

Each lesson of MathAid products corresponds to a folder in the product tree. For products distributed under the multiple user license we put the special launcher file "start.html" inside each lesson folder. If you publish the folder where the MathAid product was installed at your webserver you will be able to link to any of MathAid lessons through these launcher files. You will be able to link to the full contents and Self-Test Generator also. This way you can integrate MathAid products into your webserver environment. In particular, you can integrate MathAid products into such learning management systems as WebCT, Blackboard etc.

There are no special requirements on server OS and/or webserver because nothing is executed on the server side.

Please note that "Self-Test History" feature is not available if MathAid product is used through webserver.
