Is there a difference between Internet; Network and Standalone versions? Their content is identical. The Standalone version
is for those who use the software on a few machines. The Network version allows access from all PCs in the library, labs and computer suites. The network version runs from one convenient single installation and lets you use any connected PC. The Internet version provides 24/7 access from anywhere. You do not even need a CD, instead you login here.
Can students easily use organic chemistry from home? Yes, see here
How does the Internet version work in a VLE? There is a choice and the simplest way is to link to our web version and be using RFOC in minutes. The content is modular so you can put our SCORM 1.3 links package in your VLE. This gives you lots of links for your VLE chemistry course. A third way is to use the network server version to feed your extranet.
Do you do a SCORM version for Moodle, for example? Yes, this incredibly flexible version is already in testing and has been externally assessed. Order now and get free access to the web version untill it's released.
How long does the licence last? The licence on any installed version lasts indefinitely and we'll transfer it if you change your PC.

How many people can use it at one time? Network & Internet versions can be accessed by as many PCs as you like. The server allows 50 simultaneous users and we've yet to hear this limit was reached. You can have more.
Suppose it's just me that wants to use OC: choose COM1 or COM2 because they cost less. For a touch more, you can have a 5 licences for
colleagues to use on their machines. Spare licences can be kept indefinately and extra licences are sold pro-rata.
Do you cover the latest GCE? Yes we cover several international exams and every UK GCE syllabus including Pre-U and IB. Click the 'details' button in the syllabus shop to see brilliant coverage.
Can I pay even less money? organic chemistry is a quality resource with coverage that offers use in any lesson. This saves you lots of time and saves you compromising with half-good web resources. If you use less machines you can pay less money. You may spread the cost of a network version over installments.
Can I upgrade later? Yes, you have at least two years to upgrade to a network version and pay just the difference in price to upgrade.
Will I be able to use it? Click this graphic to see all you need to know.
Can I use organic chemistry in a PowerPoint? Yes, put your network link to organic chemistry in a PowerPoint slide and you can use what you need in seconds over a network.
How do I order organic chemistry? Send an official order by post or fax; call or use the online form. Post is free and card payment is possible for non-UK buyers.
Is organic chemistry approved by Curriculum Online? Yes, and it is a BETT Award finalist.
Can I use organic chemistry on a set of laptops: It has often been done but the network version will serve a set of laptops most conveniently.
Does organic chemistry work with Windows Vista or Windows 7? Yes, it looks and works just the same though it takes a few minutes more to install. Use is now supported on Internet Explorer 8.
Does organic chemistry work on any Mac OS? The Internet version works but 3D models will only display with a separate Jmol model viewer. It will also work if you use remote desktop for Mac to access a PC version.
Does organic chemistry work in Firefox? Only if you install IE Tab.
Does it run on Windows 7? What are the specifications?
The STANDALONE PC version requires Windows Internet Explorer 6/7/8 on Windows (Windows 7; 2000; XP; Vista is now supported). A machine is suitable if it can display Flash content. Internet access is not required.
The NETWORK server version simply runs on Windows as a service (2003; RM CCx; Windows 2000/XP; X64 and more). Hardware specification is no higher than Microsoft's recommendation for your OS. The workstations require Internet Explorer 6/7/8 on Windows (Windows 7; 2000; XP; Vista are now supported). INTERNET version workstations just need to be able to run Flash content. Workstation require no proprietary code of ours.
How is the standalone version installed? Run the installer from the CD and allow 5 minutes for the files to copy. A plugin checker will ask to add Chime if it's not detected. Run the program once and register to activate.
How is the network version installed? Run the network installer on the server. Allow 5 minutes for the files to copy. Add a JRE, run the program once and register your copy to activate. Access from a workstation using the IP of the server. Put a JRE & Chime on your workstations.
How is the Internet version installed? Install Chime from the CD or download.
