  Greetings:

   

  Would like to add that this software keeps track of and limits the number of times a coupon can be printed for many items. So, after the coupon for product "x" is printed anywhere from one to three times it will no longer allow it to be printed from that computer. In my experience it does not matter if you change the user or use mandatory profiles. So, after patron "a" prints the coupons out, patron "b" will not be able to do so if the limit is reached.  We had some staff members that pushed for this software quite aggressively so I did a lot of testing.  I think staff will accept not having this software installed once this is explained to them because they will be more concerned about upset patrons who cannot print out coupons once the limit has been reached  more than with our security concerns.

  Our Reference (well, actually Access Services) department wants me to install a coupon printer applet from Coupons.com on all patron PCs.  Coupons.com has not yet been helpful about sending an .msi file so I can push it out to the computers.  

   

  Does anyone have any suggestions or help?  maybe an .msi file?  Without the .msi file, I will have to install it one by one on the patron PCs. 

   

  Thanks for your help.
