Scholastic, Inc. All rights reserved. PDF0019 (PDF) Scholastic Phonics Inventory™ Installation Guide Introduction Welcome to the Scholastic Phonics Inventory Installation Guide. This manual is a guide to installing the Scholastic Phonics Inventory (SPI) and Scholastic Achievement Manager (SAM) software, as well as to troubleshooting technical issues that may arise during installation or operation. To install System 44™, consult the System 44 Installation Guide. Getting Started Scholastic recommends that these programs be installed by a school or district Systems Administrator; however, anyone with the following attributes may install the software: • Access to computers on which the SPI software will be installed. • Full network-level administrator permissions, including permissions that allow modifying network settings and user privileges. This is controlled by a network administrator, as determined by school or district IT policies. Windows® and Macintosh® Platforms Installation steps are described and shown on a Macintosh platform. Installation on Windows platforms is essentially the same and any significant differences are noted in the text. Windows and Macintosh screens display slightly different button designs but, unless otherwise noted, all labels are the same. File folder separators are described in Macintosh format, using the forward slash convention. This has the same significance as the backslash used in Windows operating systems.

Scholastic Phonics Inventory v1.1 Installation Guide Updated 11.7.08 Introduction • 4 TM & © Scholastic, Inc. All rights reserved. PDF0019 (PDF) Scholastic Phonics Inventory™ Installation Guide Installing SPI and SAM Overview Installing SPI is a multistep process that covers; • Installing, upgrading, or verifying the SAM Server; • Installing SPI server components on the network server; • Installing SPI client software onto workstations; • Activating student licenses. SPI v1.1 is compatible only with Scholastic SAM Server v1.8.1 or later. If a previous version of SAM Server is installed, upgrade to v1.8.1 with the software included in the SPI installation kit. SAM and SPI Server software should be installed on a server computer that is accessible over a network and the SPI Client software should be installed separately on each student workstation. NOTE: SAM v1.8.1, included in the SPI installation kit, will not work with older versions of other Scholastic Enterprise Edition programs, including READ 180®, rSkills®, ReadAbout®, and Fastt Math®. These programs
