SiteKiosk is available in four different license packages.

The Lite version features cover the necessary functionality to
protect your kiosk.

All license packages include the Lite features.

Configuration tool
The included configuration tool will guide you through every step of the configuration. No programming skills required.

OS & Browser lockdown
Access to the operating system and the browser is prevented. Your system will, therefore, be protected against any kind of tampering as soon as the boot process starts.

Scheduled shutdown & restart
Set different shutdown or restart times for each day of the week.

System reset and idle time
A session will be terminated automatically after a specified idle period. All browser and application windows will be closed, all user traces will be erased (history, cookies, and cache), and the application returns to the Start Page.

Auto Recovery
Automatically restarts the SiteKiosk application within seconds in the event of a program crash.

Display in fullscreen mode

The Basic Version includes 20 different "display" languages for the user interface.
These languages can be selected by the user based on their requirements.

Free Update Function
After each start, SiteKiosk looks for available updates and will update the local criteria database if necessary.
