If any computer on which AB Tutor is installed accesses the Internet via a proxy server, then details of the proxy server must be entered into AB Tutors settings.
- Launch AB Tutor (you will see a warning message as the program fails to connect to the Internet)
- Select the 'Tools' menu.
- Click on 'Settings'.
- Select 'Proxy Server' tab.
[scroll down if necessary]
- Enter the IP address or server name of your proxy server - Enter the port number used to access the proxy server - If your proxy server requires authentication, enter the username and password used to access the proxy server.
Some systems allow you to bypass a proxy server and connect directly to the Internet. This is not normally the case - so if you select this option and AB Tutor is still unable to verify its licence, you will need to enter the proxy server settings above.
If you do not enter a username and password and the proxy server requires authentication, then every time AB Tutor is launched, the person currently logged on will be prompted to enter this information. To prevent a teacher being prompted for their username and password every time the software is run, we would recommend that you create a dedicated AB Tutor account and enter the username (e.g. ABTutor) and password into the proxy server settings on each copy of the software.
