See the Best Practices section for important security info.

KioWare contains two components: KioWare and the KioWare Configuration Tool.

KioWare handles the execution of the HTML content application.  It provides security by preventing users and other processes from accessing the operating system or browser, filters keystrokes, displays attract screens when not in use, and performs other actions useful for monitoring kiosks.

The KioWare Configuration Tool is a program that is used to modify KioWare configuration settings and set a start page.

Note: If you run KioWare WITHOUT first running the Configuration Tool and setting a start page, you will see a screen similar to the one below:

You will see a banner message at the bottom that says “This kiosk is not licensed”.  This is normal when running in Demo mode, and does not restrict the use of the product, unless your 500 hour demo time has run out.  When you install a valid license, this license banner will disappear.*

* You may still see the license banner if you installed the license with a wireless card enabled, or if using a multi-user or volume license.  We highly recommend disabling wireless network adapters before licensing because they can cause the kiosk to become unlicensed.  If you are using a multi-user or volume license, you will normally see the banner for about 10 seconds before it disappears.
