MED CD-ROM Network Edition: Upgrades & Technical Support

Thank you for buying the second edition of the Macmillan English Dictionary Network CD-ROM.

Increasing the number of users

If you wish to increase the number of licenses so that more users can use MED on your network, please
contact us and include this information:

the name and address of your institution
the version number and ISBN on the label of your CD-ROM
the number of licences that you already have
the number of extra licences that you require
the name of your usual Macmillan representative, if you have one

We will then contact you to confirm the price and arrangements for payment.

Please note that the licenses are for concurrent or simultaneous users. For example, if you have 100 computers on your
network, but only 20 people use the dictionary at the same time, you only need a license for 20 users.

Solving problems

If you have experienced problems with the installation to your server or to end-user computers on your network, please
check that you have read thoroughly the system requirements and installation instructions in the printed user guide.

If you have successfully installed the software but you are experiencing problems when operating it, please check the
operating instructions in the printed user guide or in the Help menu of the software.

If you have followed the instructions precisely and still have a problem, please refer to the Questions & Answers
below. If these do not provide a solution, please contact us and include this information:

the version number, impression number and ISBN on the label of your CD-ROM
the versions of Windows on your server and end-user computers
the place where you bought the CD-ROM

the Macmillan English Dictionary. Find out how to take full advantage of your CD here.

How do I turn off the automatic pronunciation?

How is the CD-ROM different from the printed dictionary?

Does the CD-ROM include everything that appears in the printed dictionary?
Yes, absolutely everything, plus thousands of recorded pronunciations, hundreds of sound clips and
weblinks, and dozens of maps!
