Broadlook software acts as a web browser accessing the world wide web through a standard browser.
Broadlook software can connect through proxy servers, ISA servers and through VPNs however all addresses and authentication information must be supplied by the technical software installer.
Multiple user access can be accomplished via a terminal server implementation where multiple users can log-in and access the Broadlook applications via their personal virtual desktop on the terminal server.
Broadlook software has the feature to control the use of bandwidth required. The web mining products have a setting that will limit the amount of bandwidth the program can use for searching.
Broadlook appears to the outside world as a web browser accessing various search engines, broadlook.com, and the broadlook search engine.
By default, Broadlook accesses the Internet through port 80 but can be configured to respect unique network proxies, and settings.
All software is distributed via electronic download unless detailed otherwise. A user receives an e-mail that states the location to download the software along with a license key that is entered into the registration page during the installation of the software on the user's workstation.
For multiple user implementations of Broadlook products we recommend a centralized approach to software management. Broadlook will provide the license keys and links to the installation files to a central point of contact. The software is then distributed to users to ensure version consistency and license tracking within the organization.
On a desktop installation each user must have a unique license key for each product they use. On a terminal server environment the same is true, each user account must have a unique license key.
