Can Remote Shutdown Be Used On A System Running A DHCP Server?

IP addresses the computers with CPUOff or CPUOff Slave installed
must have the IP addresses set to fixed on the DHCP server. This
point only applies if the slave program is used.

after upgrading from version 3.5 or earlier. If a remote computer
is controlled you will also need to upgrade the
CPUOff Slave program on the remote computer. The only exception is when
downgrading to an earlier version of the program,
in this case uninstall the old program first.

To Version 4.0?

system - check Power Options from the control panel.
Why Does CPUOff Stop Without Shutting Down The Remote
Computer?
This could be caused by a firewall program blocking the operation
of the CPUOff Slave or communications with CPUOff on the local
or remote computer in which case add CPUOff to the list of acceptable
programs on the remote and or local computer.
Are The Slave Programs From AllOff, DownOff, KeyOff And
LANOff Compatible With CPUOff?

addressing.
