Installation And Basic Configuration
Installation is simple just unzip the installer from the
downloaded file, double click on the installer and follow the on
screen instructions (when selected, shortcuts are installed for
all users). To make KeyOff run on startup for all users select 'Run
On Startup For All Users' during installation. As well as installing
the program this will also install the help pages. KeyOff can be
installed over previous installations but it will need re-configuring
if the configuration file is overwritten. Start the program and
enter the registration code to start using KeyOff. See Configuration for
details of the parameters that can be varied. By default the program
runs in the System Tray, to access the configuration screen double
click on the tray icon and then click the Configure button from the main screen. The
default values should be fine for most applications if remote control
is not used. If the program will not work properly check out the FAQ and Release
Notes for suggestions. The program can only be installed and
configured by a user with administration privileges. Installing the slave to the same location as KeyOff will only convert KeyOff
into KeyOff Slave and vice versa provided you allow the installer
to overwrite the old configuration file.
Shutting Down A Remote Computer
Install the KeyOff Slave (by selecting Slave from the
program section of the installer) on the remote computer and configure
the program with the IP address or Domain Name of the local computer.
See Configuration for
details of the other parameters that can be varied for the remote
computer. You will also need to set the remote IP address or Domain
Name on the local computer.
The KeyOff Slave will not start minimised until it is configured.
The program can only be installed by
a user with administrative privileges.
Multiple Instances And Installations
It is only possible to run one instance of KeyOff at a
time. KeyOff and KeyOff Slave can not be run at the same time on
one computer. KeyOff and KeyOff Slave can only exist on the same
computer if they are installed into different locations. Neither
program can be run at the same time as KeyOff Lite. If KeyOff is
in shutdown mode when an attempt to start a second instance occurs
the error message will open beneath the first program window which
will take priority.
Security
If remote shutdown is used this program may compromise network
security, this depends on the network and any firewall configuration.
You will need appropriate access privileges to the remote computer
to use the slave program.
