Future Proof with Baggin' the Dragon V2 on Windows Systems!
Baggin' the Dragon V2 conforms to Microsoft Application Standards to give maximum compatibility with Windows operating systems and servers, including Windows XP, Vista, the new Windows 7, and Windows Servers 2003 and 2008.
Future Proof with Baggin' the Dragon V2 on Macintosh Systems!
We understand that Apple may no longer support older applications in upcoming releases of Macintosh systems*. Baggin' the Dragon V2 is now Universal Binary to ensure maximum forward compatibility with all Macintosh systems, including Snow Leopard (Mac OS X 10.6). Future-proof your investment today by taking advantage of this opportunity to upgrade to Baggin' the Dragon V2.
* PowerPC software is emulated through Rosetta. Rosetta emulation is slower and more error-prone when compared to Universal Binary, and is provided by Apple to support older, non-standard software.
Simultaneously Manage Student Details in Multiple EdAlive Titles Using IULs!
Several EdAlive products use IULs or Integrated User Lists. IULs are lists of users and classes that are shared across several Version 2 EdAlive products, including BRAINtastic! V2, Baggin' the Dragon V2, Words Rock V2 and the upcoming Volcanic Panic V2*.
Kids and classes** created in any one of the above titles will automatically be available in all the others. This streamlined data integration drastically reduces administration time!
* Ultimate Maths Invaders V2, Spelling Force V2 and Typing Tournament V2 once released, will still require their own individual students lists.
