Yes, very easy to install. Just remember you need to get an unlock

Ah, now therein might lie a problem. When we have single-user software,
we install it onto just the one computer in the classroom, not the 32
in the ICT suite. However, every year we end up playing Musical
Classrooms, so we have to delete the software from the computer in one
room and reinstall it on the one in the new room. Does the unlock code
cope with this?

If they allow it, you would need to get a new unlock code issued for each
machine -- presumably after providing some kind of assurance that the copy
had been deleted from the original machine first.

What you write makes it sound as though VA don't issue the code when
you buy the product. I'm in Belgium, so would that present
difficulties? Does the code come via the Internet or email? If so, it
might fall foul of our incredibly stringent firewall! Would the code
have to be 'received' by the computer on which I wished to install it?
Or could I have it emailed to my home RPC and just type it in?

It comes by email. See the recent threads on these groups about the
problems that occur when registration emails get lost in the system.
