Would you have details on this ? Information sheet or anything? Is this a paid solution or free to do by yourself ?

Sorry just happened to look at your post again and you only want 1 device.
this solution is more for a suite of macs.  you have to buy a mac mini to act as a server for the network.

you do get loads of software free. 
Office
All adobe products (Photoshop, Dreamweaver, Indesign etc).

Best to contact the sales team to see if there is a solution for 1 device.

i never has much success binding it to my own legacy ad (not with folder shares anyway)
C2k option seems good though our mac suite was never cabled to a c2k Comms cab - which was my doing  lol

at the min im toying with the idea of making the kids use guest mode and google apps - so it means the are forced to upload their work before they log off and leaving themselfs logged in to google etc wont be an issue as it will not remember creditionals/history etc for the next user.

havent had a min to check how much hassle it would be uploading logic files etc but planning to get a look at it soon then if its an option i will need to train up the music teacher to pass on to the students
