Answer: It's your choice. You can enable a “system tray” icon on the monitored PCs if you would like to disclose monitoring to your employees. BeAware Corporate Edition also has the capability to run in complete stealth mode. If you use the “system tray” icon, you can optionally let your employees turn off monitoring for a limited period of time every day using the “Private Time” feature. This lets your employees handle their personal online business in privacy.

Answer: BeAware Corporate Edition can be remotely installed and pushed out to each individual workstation from your server using the included “Remote Setup“ tool.

Answer: The software can be installed to all the PC's on your network from the server or from a stand alone workstation. Simply check all the boxes for the machines you want to monitor — it's very easy.

Answer: Yes, like with any corporate software deployment, you can pick the server BeAware Corporate Edition is installed on. It is explained in the installation guide. Installation is often a very easy process since you just pick which PC's you want to install server or monitoring on.

Answer: No. The BeAware Server software does not need to be installed on an actual Server machine. The software can be installed on any machine that has enough system resources to process the incoming data from each monitored client machine as well as storage space for all data recorded and uploaded. For many small businesses, a typical workstation with a 200 GB hard drive will do the job, and server hardware is not necessary.

Answer: Yes, Windows Active Directory is not a requirement.

Answer: A USB drive can be used if it's not too old of a drive, and if you have fewer than 25 machines to monitor.

Answer: BeAware Corporate Edition software records both the machine name and the logged in user. Essentially, BeAware is monitoring the machine first and then by the user(s) on that machine. So, as each user logs off, it records the logoff and then the next person(s) logon.

Answer: In a Terminal Server setup, you install the BeAware Server and the monitoring software directly on the Terminal Server. When monitoring is enabled, as each workstation connects into the server it is automatically monitored. Because of the way that a Terminal Server setup works, you cannot pick and choose the machines you wish to monitor or not monitor as well as you will not be able to configure monitoring options for individual machines. If monitoring is enabled, every machine connecting into the Terminal Server will be monitored with the options that are configured on the Terminal Server.

Regarding licensing, you will need to purchase “Seat” licenses for each workstation that will be connecting into the Terminal Server as well as one for the Terminal Server itself. For example, if you have 100 workstations on your network that are connecting into the Terminal Server, plus the machine running as the Terminal Server, you will need 101 licenses (100 for each workstation plus 1 for the Terminal Server).

Answer: BeAware Corporate Edition uses IP-based addressing, so if you can use IP addresses to address machines on the network then the Novell network will work.

Answer: BeAware Corporate Edition Version 7.0 and higher all work on Vista for monitoring Vista PC's.

Answer: At this time, BeAware Corporate Edition does not run on a Mac OS.

Answer: Yes, BeAware Corporate Edition works on all versions of Windows. The Remote Setup Tool does not support Windows XP Home, so for Windows XP Home you would need to manually install BeAware Corporate Edition on each machine.

Answer: Yes, as long as the offices can see each other over the network (they are sharing the same internal network) then it's not a problem, like with any corporate deployment such as Antivirus.

Answer: If the laptop never connects to the company network then it's not possible to monitor it. There needs to be a connection at some point, such as when the employee returns to the office.

Answer: The purpose of selecting Network Mac ID is only to bind the server license to the PC so it cannot be transferred to any other machine. Monitoring is not dependent on selection of the Network Adapter, so you can select any of the Network Cards.

Answer: Yes, using the Private Time feature they can disable monitoring on any schedule, such as during lunch breaks or after hours, or even give employees a certain number of minutes every day (such as 90) that they can turn off the monitoring *themselves*. It's up to the company how to set this up, and set-up is very easy.

Answer: No, BeAware Corporate Edition does not capture usernames and passwords, so employees do not have to worry about an unauthorized user gaining access to their accounts because they have BeAware Corporate Edition installed on their computer.
