Welcome to the Grid 3 Education Licence setup guide
Your new licence enables you to install and manage Grid 3 across your school’s network.
You can manage the installation via your site server, as well as authorise new licences and devices. You can also choose where Grid 3 stores and accesses data.
This means that your learners can now use the same software for AAC and accessing the curriculum; your staff have a simple and easy-to-edit platform to create fun and engaging activities, to support curriculum delivery; and your parents and carers can now support learning at home through a familiar platform.
Your network manager can use the Grid 3 MSI installer to push Grid 3 out to your network.
There is a additional MSI installer to enable education licencing on each device. The username and password for this will be provided with your welcome email.
To complete the Grid 3 installation process you will need both the licence key and passcode. These will also have been provided in the welcome email.
Before you begin deploying Grid 3 across your network, consider how Grid 3 will be used by your students.
User profiles store each student’s access options, voices and settings. Students can log in on any device and retrieve their grid sets and settings.
These profiles can be stored on a device locally or stored on your server.
Ready to install Grid 3? The technical information and installation files for network managers can be found below.
