Overview

By default, WirisQuizzes integrations use the services located at our servers in www.wiris.net (SaaS model). The various integrations are configured to call them, and, for most situations, the requests to www.wiris.net are kept behind the scenes.

Caution

In case you need to use the services from your server, you will need to purchase a license.

If you have a license of Wiris CAS server components, you can install and run the services provided by your own server.
