Workgroup Scenario Installation

In a workgroup scenario installation, exam delivery workstations are connected through a local area network (LAN) or workgroup to the administration workstation which provides shared file storage. This is illustrated below.

Limitations of the workgroup installation scenario

In a workgroup scenario installation, the number of exam delivery workstations allowed is limited based on the operating system running the administration workstation. If the administration workstation is running Windows 10, then a maximum of 15 exam delivery workstations are allowed. Windows performance drops significantly if you use more than 15 concurrent connections.
