Tech Console
Insight Tech Console supports the following operating systems for the console or student:
• Windows XP-32
• Windows Vista-32/64
• Windows 7-32/64
• Windows 8.1-32/64
• Mac OS X 10.5 or greater
Please note that Tech Console for the Mac will only run on Intel-based Mac hardware running OSX
10.5 or greater.
Tech Console is a stand-alone product designed to help IT and Technical staff with their daily
tasks. However, Tech Console uses the same client software as Insight and can be used to manage
Insight students and teachers.
Tech Console will discover previous versions of Insight, but to function properly, they must be
updated to the new version. Fortunately, you can use the Tech Console to easily update earlier
versions of Insight Mac and Windows teachers and students.
Listed below are the minimum requirements necessary to run Tech Console:
Processor
PCs: 166 MHz Intel® Pentium® processor or faster

Report Server
Included with the Insight Tech Console is an additional install for the Insight Report Server. The
Report Server retains the software and hardware inventory information scanned from Student
machines. If it is installed in combination with Insight Classroom Management software,
inventory information from Teacher machines is also captured. This data capture allows you to
record and analyze your technology utilization with the reports provided like Web Site Visits and
application usage by Student or Computer.
