Install for a Network

If you wish to have multiple computers in your office access Roll Call, you will want to install the network version of the software. There are two components to the network version. First is the Roll Call Server software. This can be run from a Windows or Mac machine. It does not need to have a “Server OS”. The second component is the Roll Call Client software. The Client software must be installed on each computer that needs to access Roll Call.
