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
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.
Does CPUOff Work On Both 32bit And 64 bit Operating Systems?
CPUOff is designed to work on WIndows 2000 Service Pack 4 (32bit),
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
(32bit and 64 bit), WIndows Vista SP1 - all variants
(32bit and 64 bit). Windows NT, 95, 98 & ME are NOT
supported.
Are There Any Issues Using EnCalcE on WIndows Vista With User Account Control Turned On?
There are no known issues when UAC is enabled on Vista.
Can KeyOff Be Installed Over An Existing Version?
Yes, there are no known problems installing over the top of an
existing installation. To keep the default settings
do not allow the configuration file to be overwritten when prompted. The existing configuration file will be
copied to KeyOff.old. The only exception is when
downgrading to an earlier version of the program,
in this case uninstall the old program first.
Why Does KeyOff Stop Without Shutting Down The Local Computer?
This could be caused by a firewall program blocking the operation
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.
