System Requirements:

 

Old versions (Numbershark, Wordshark, Wordshark 2, Wordshark 2L,) were not designed to run on XP / Vista, and normally do not manage to do so. Contact Sales to upgrade.

 

We have a network version for the PC, and a different network version for Mac , starting at 10 concurrent users, which may also be used in schools and education services on stand-alone machines.  Please note the “Networks” tab, particularly if your school uses network management software.

 

Wordshark and Numbershark single-user CD versions from version 3.06 are designed for use with Apple Macintosh  OSX10.3+ standalones) and PC Microsoft Windows operating systems. Click sub-menus for details. Both require a computer with a CD or DVD drive

Hybrid Mac/PC networks are not likely to be supported in the near future. Please contact us if you wish to be kept informed on developments.

 

Please contact us if you are considering the following options:

 

  • Using a Linux server to run our PC network versions of Wordshark 4 or Numbershark 4  (This normally works but we will arrange a test first)
  • Running on a Linux computer (This is under development - we want to hear from you)
  • MS Terminal Services/Thin Client /Citrix networks: We know  a small number of  our network versions are running successfully and would like to hear from you
  • VLE:  A VLE compatible version is being developed. We would like to hear from you.  

 

Mac or PC?

It’s your choice: Both have the same content, style, educational content and price.

The most visible difference is that some keyboard commands are different. For example:

PC:  Switch to games list = Press F11   or use mouse.
Mac: Switch to games list = Press Apple key+G or use mouse

PC: Switch to words list = Press F12 or use mouse
Mac: Switch to words list = Press Apple key+T or use mouse
 

PC: Turn “Help” on = Press F1

Mac: Turn “Help” on = Press Apple key+F1
