What Are The Advantages Of KeyOff Over The Features Built
Into Windows?
You can define when the functions are activated and get the opportunity to cancel
shutdown rather than it just happening. There is more flexibility in the timing.
KeyOff can also shut down one remote computer at the same time. Background tasks
such as defragmenting will not stop the computer shutting down. The program will
not be fooled by a stuck key. An open program will not stop computer shutdown.
A readily accessible history of use is available. It can apply to all users making
configuration easier and more consistent.

Can CPUOff Be Used On A System Running A DHCP Server?
Yes provided you use the computer names but if you use CPUOff with

must have the IP addresses set to fixed on the DHCP server. This
point only applies if the slave program is used.

Windows 2003 Enterprise Edition Service Pack 1 (32 and 64 bit),
Windows 2003 Enterprise Edition Release 2 Service Pack 1 (32bit
and 64 bit), Windows XP (32bit), Windows XP (32bit) SP1 2 & 3, WIndows Vista - all variants

copied to KeyOff.old.
Why Does KeyOff Stop Without Shutting Down The Local Computer?

of KeyOff in which case add KeyOff to the list of acceptable
programs.
Why Does KeyOff Stop Without Shutting Down The Remote
Computer?
This could be caused by a firewall program blocking the operation
of the KeyOff Slave or communications with KeyOff on the local
or remote computer in which case add KeyOff to the list of acceptable
programs on the remote and or local computer.
Why Does The Computer Hibernate Before The Time Set In
KeyOff?
This is usually because the computer is set to hibernate in the operating system
- check Power Options from the control panel.
Why Does The Computer Go Into Standby Before Before KeyOff
Can Operate?
This is usually because the computer is set to go to Standby in
the operating system - check Power Options from the control panel.
Are The Slave Programs From AllOff, CPUOff, DownOff And
LANOff Compatible With KeyOff?
No they are incompatible because the data sent uses program specific
addressing.
How Much Network Bandwidth Does Communications To The Slave Use?
Very little - approximately 4KB/Sec.
How Much Memory Does The Program Use?
This is dependent on the operating system and program state but will be between 1.2MB and 4MB.
