Carleton purchased two licenses for PGM, and obtained a verbal agreement that this could be interpreted as two concurrent licenses. However, this is not metered in any way; the users made a verbal agreement with the publisher that they would "make sure not more than two people are using PGM at once". A limited number of people have been given the necessary full rights to the application directory, where the database is shared. These rights are currently controlled by the eDirectory AD group called PGM_AppUsers; we expect to change this to an AD-based groupPGMUsers_gs.
Usage Restrictions
Because the users have asked to share their database and narrative files, the application can only be used by the authorized individuals (see previous paragraph) from an administrative (wired) IP address and a current mapping to APPS (W:).

- Login the computer using the ITS account, which has rights as a local Windows Administrator-equivalent.
- Make sure you have drive W: mapped. (The usual MapNetworkDrives.bat script will do this.)
- On Windows XP, right-click the Start button and choose Explore All Users. (If you can't, choose Explore instead.)
On Windows 7, choose the Start logo, then right-click All Programs and choose Open. (This will be user-specific.) - A Windows Explorer window will open with the Start Menu folder selected. Open the Programs folder in this Start Menu folder.
- If it does not already exist, make a new folder here titled "PG Calc", and open it.
- From within the PG Calc folder, create a new shortcut with these properties:
- Location: enter or browse to W:\Windows\PGM6\pgmw32.exe
- For the name, enter PGM 6.67
- Test the shortcut by running it; the ITS account has rights, as a member of the PGMUsers_gs AD group.
New: This version Version 6.6 finally switched from old style Windows .HLP help to the new style .CHM help. There will be in the KBOX user portal a new item with the name "PGM Help", visible to all users.
