Installing MAGic 9.5 ILM Version

The following instructions will allow you to perform your own installation of MAGic with license authorization from the NCSU JAWS server. This will install the application locally, and the local application will obtain authorization from the NCSU JAWS Internet License Manager.

System Requirements:

A computer running Windows 95, 98, ME, NT, 2000, or XP. MAGic is a 32-bit program, and will not work in the Windows 3.x environment.
64 Megabytes of available RAM space is required.
256 or higher-resolution video adapter. 16-bit color depth or is recommended.
TCP/IP network connectivity to jaws.ncsu.edu

Installation Steps:

If you are using Windows NT, 2000, or XP, make sure that you are logged in with Administrator level privileges.
Download the MAGic installation file.
Depending upon your operating system and/or the level of Microsoft Active Accessibility installed, the MAGic installation wizard may prompt you to reboot in order to install Microsoft Active Accessibility.
The MAGic installation wizard will begin and ask if you would like speech during setup. You will be prompted to reboot if you would like speech during setup, or you may choose to continue without speech.
To begin installation, press Enter.
Read the license agreement, and select Yes to continue.
For most installations, choose 'Automatic.'
MAGic will be installed, and you will be prompted to reboot once again.
After rebooting, log in with administrator level privileges once again. This will ensure that the installation of video intercept is completed properly.
The MAGic ILM server will allow for contemporaneous use of a certain number of clients, up to the licensed limit. When MAGic starts, it will search for a license server. To force the workstation to look to the correct location for a license, add the environment variable 'LSFORCEHOST=jaws.ncsu.edu' as a system variable.

If you require troubleshooting assistance either installing MAGic or configuring MAGic video intercept, please email disability@ncsu.edu.
