I'm not familiar with the voices that you're using. But I'd read the lisence carefully, I bet that it is a per seat / user lisence, not a per computer lisence.

Hi,

No, because it is on one Mac, not fifty.

Thanks,

Good evening,

Wouldn't you still need 50 lisences if the voice was being used by 50 users?

Hi,

The IBM's use Ubuntu via the LTSP project. It is cheaper than putting 50+ Mac Mini's because the maintance would be high.

Also, we are planning to buy one lisence of Infovox's Spanish Voice for use by all the students.

Thanks,

I haven't seen a Citrix-like solution for the Mac but I've been out of the enterprise space for some time. Are you sure it will be a lower cost than just putting 50 Mac Minis without screens in place? How do the thin clients work? You might be dependent on IBM for a solution since it's their clients that need to share to the Mac server.

Hi,

I am looking at setting up a computer lab for Visually Impaired students. It is Voiceover/Linux Driven, and any assistance is greatly appreciated. A list of hardware i below:

50+ IBM Thin Clients
1 network server (possibly virtual)
1 Mac Pro with eight cores and 16 GB RAM.

Now my question is that I need to setup virtual sessesions from each TC to the Mac to use Voiceover. The problem is that the only software that will do that is FreeNX which isn't available for the Mac yet. Is there any solutions. FreeNX will include support for Mac in version 4.0, but in the meantime I would appreciate any free solutions.

Thanks,
Alex,
