New version of KioWare and KioWare server released | Kiosk Software

YORK, Pa. — Analytical Design Solutions Inc. has released Version 6.2.0 of KioWare Lite and KioWare Kiosk Basic, and Version 4.0 of KioWare Server. KioWare products provide lockdown security for browser-based applications, restricting users from accessing the OS and desktop, and allowing customization to limit Internet access. KioWare products can also provide support for second monitors, external and input devices, user phone dialing, and server based remote monitoring.

Version 6.2.0 for KioWare Lite and KioWare Kiosk Basic new features include:

Ability to add or extend custom features through support of 3rd party .NET dlls, meaning clients are now able to develop plug-ins to work with KioWare.
Domain page blocking warning can display custom HTML page, instead of the existing KioWare dialog box.
Support for Storm EZ Access keypad.

Additional Version 6.2.0 KioWare Kiosk Basic new features include:

Support for SNAPI barcode scanners, HID MSR Readers, and OPOS MSR Readers.
Ability to request content update and upload usage statistics as frequently as every 10 minutes, or at the completion of every user session for uploading usage statistics.

Finally, Version 4.0 of KioWare Server new features include:

Completely flexible user accounts, roles and permissions that control user abilities at a functional level.
Simplified client content updating procedures that include application files, KioWare updates and OS updates. To support cellular networks, content transfer now checks for file truncation and corruption errors.
Ability to provide ad hoc grouping of kiosks. Groups can contain other groups, projects or individual kiosks.
Addition of ad hoc data structures useful for storing custom data about each kiosk, which can be imported from a spreadsheet.
Added infrastructure to support 3rd party add-ins. KioWare’s first add-in will be released in December: a kiosk mapping add-in that enables all your kiosks and their status to be overlaid onto a digital map.
A new API that enables 3rd parties to develop a custom KioWare Server interface as well as plug-ins to the standard interface.
