What restrictions are on the software we were given, as in how many students can install each title?
Will it all run on the classmate?
Will the simulator?
The software licenses indicate that you may install on as many computers as necessary as long as the software is only used by team students or mentors. There are some pieces of software that you must obtain individual licenses for each person such as PTC or Autodesk.
I know that the 2009 netbooks had a 16GB solid state drive that was used mostly by the operating system. I am unsure as to the hard drive space on the netbook. However, I would not recommend installing everything on your netbook as the space is small and it is best to have a fast computer with not much installed on it for your driver station. I know the situation varies for different teams, this is simply my recommendation.
