Dear Authoried,

Hi,

I’m working in Şişecam IT department as technology development specialist. We have to learn some detail before installation approval for Gimp software. If you you are not related person, can you direct it to related person?

you have reached a mailing list, so this will be available to everyone who is interested.

Now let's see...

1) How the program will be established (CD, *.iso, *.exe, URL etc.)?

Depends on the platform - the choices imply that you are using a Microsoft Windows platform, so *.exe is probably what you want. The downloads are at http://www.gimp.org/downloads/

2) The program runs on the server? Or just making installation on the client PC is enough?

GIMP can certainly run on a server, but the usual installation method is on client PCs.

3) What are the requirement for the program will be installed in server and / or PC? (for example: Internet Explorer version must be xxx, for opening documents Foxit / Acrobat Reader version must be xxx, * .iso / *. Exe file as the file to open the installation will be required as prerequisites Is there a tool or software, if the installation will make with * .iso / *. exe file do we need extra tool or software as prerequisites, etc.)?

I can't think of any special requirements here.

4) How will licensing? User-based licensing or? Which has been received as the number of licenses such simultaneous use? For example: 4 given license, a person who will use as 5th person, somebody have to be close the program?

This is easy - GIMP is licensed under the GNU GPL, and this license puts no restrictions on usage: https://www.gnu.org/copyleft/gpl.html

Note that you can be required to pay attention to its terms regarding distribution, see
https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#InternalDistribution

5) Can the program be installed by a normal user? Or need to give admin rights?

No, a normal user can't install the program- the installers available from http://www.gimp.org require admin rights (again, assuming this is about a Windows platform)

6) Did the program run with admin rights?

It doesn't admin right to be run, but it can be run with admin rights (no sure if I get that questions correctly).

7) İs there any problem for running with McAfee?

None that we know of.

8) İs there any particular security needs (will software need given special permission on pc firewall, corporate firewall, proxy etc.) for during usage or making license activation or update?

Not really - you might want to make sue that the online help is accessible unless you plan to install that locally, but that is just HTTP on standard ports.

9) How we can update ( from internet, will you make it, etc.) the software?

The usual method is to download from http://www.gimp.org/downloads/

10) In order to run the software, do we need to install additional tool or software?

No.

Regards,
Michael
