Hi everyone, want to use R in our company but have to complete an intern questionnaire first. Can anyone help? Thanks in advance! Here the questions I’m not sure about: 1. Is R a Clientsoftware / Serversoftware / Systemsoftware? 2. Does R need a “chellenge-response” treatment for activation? 3. Is R proxy-able? 4. Is the personalised WINDOWS-NTLM-authorization at ISA-proxy possible? 5. Are any exceptions for virus scanner needed? If yes, which ones? 6. Does R changes system files or folders? (e.g. system32, registry). If yes, which ones? Mit freundlichen Grüßen i. A. Samuel Zastko ALTE LEIPZIGER Bauspar AG Controlling Tel.

Thanks in advance! > Here the questions I?m not sure about: > 1. Is R a Clientsoftware / Serversoftware / Systemsoftware?This is a strange choice. what would you answer for e.g. Excel?? It's most certainly no Server. It's not a Client, because there is no "R-Server". But R can establish connections to several Server Types, for example to download data. R Packages can extend R's funcionality What's "Systemsoftware"??> 2. Does R need a ?chellenge-response? treatment for activation?Dunno what "challenge-response" is. But R is open-souce, no activatoin required.> 3. Is R proxy-able?HTTP-Proxying seems to work, google "GNU R proxy" and see <http://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/base/rw-FAQ.html#The-Internet-download-functions-fail_002e>> 4. Is the personalised WINDOWS-NTLM-authorization at ISA-proxy possible?Don' know. But you can run R without any changes to a Windows system, like registry entrys and such. Copy the folder and execute R.exe> 5. Are any exceptions for virus scanner needed? If yes, which ones?No.> 6. Does R changes system files or folders? (e.g. system32, registry). If yes, which ones?No. Regards, Moritz -- GnuPG Key: 0x7340821E
