[OPLINTECH] Games/Teen-Focused Software & Computers

[slewis at worthingtonlibraries.org]

For Steam, I don’t see why it wouldn’t behave with Deep Freeze. The only issue would be getting updates to games, which happens more and more often with patches, bugfixes, DLC, etc. I believe you can have Steam automatically update at a scheduled time, so I would just coordinate that with an overnight Thawed period configured in the Deep Freeze Administrator, so that the updates are applied while the PCs are thawed.

As far as Adobe Creative Cloud, I set up installation scripts for that using Adobe’s Creative Cloud Packager<https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/packager/creating-packages.html> (available as long as you’re using Creative Cloud for teams or Creative Cloud for enterprise), and then found it to work well using named licenses for each of our Adobe PCs.

Subject: [OPLINTECH] Games/Teen-Focused Software & Computers

So I've been working on a plan to create a cluster of teen/young adult computers for one of our branches.  We're getting a handful of really nice computers, the kind that a nerdy gamer type like me is incredibly jealous of, but we're looking for ideas for games and other software that would be useful.

We're trying to stay away from the ultra violent stuff like Call of Duty, etc., and I was hoping one or some of you guys might have had experience installing and maintaining something like Steam with Deep Freeze.  We're also going to install things like the Adobe Creative Suite and want to put constructive software like that on them to facilitate learning and creation/maker stuff.

Do you guys have any ideas?

Thanks,
