The Time Boss PRO is the simple time manager program for all 
users registered in Windows.

The Time Boss PRO has: the event log (journal) for start-stop events 
of users, internet sites and programs; the screenshots log 
and statistics; the simple and clear interface with multilanguage 
support.

The principle of work of the program is simple:  for all users you 
can define the  time limit for work on PC.  As soon as the user 
exceeds the  limit, the program  automatically finishes his session. 

The program blocks the start of forbidden programs or internet 
sites specified for users (for example:  Skype or any games).

The program uses official  protective mechanisms  of Windows 
system and doesn't create espionage modules. Time Boss doesn't 
mask  in components  of the  operational  environment, doesn't 
litter  system  folders and  doesn't  reduce   speed of  other 
programs.

How to install or upgrade Time Boss PRO to the new version:

Only user  with administrations  rights in Windows  can install 
or upgrade Time Boss PRO.

If you have the old version of program (Time Boss or Time Boss PRO) 
and want to store the old settings, screen shots and event log file 
then open 'Options' window in old version of program and push the 
button 'Prepare for uninstall'. 

Then uninstall program with Windows Install/Uninstall wizard without 
removing screenshots, event log and settings (Dialog box will appear 
during uninstall).

Then install the new version of program in the same folder. 

In any case you should uninstall the old version at first and then install 
the new version. Then you must input the registration info (name

If you have old version of program lower then 3.0 - don't uninstall 
it with Windows Install/Uninstall wizard before the installation of new 
version. Only push the button 'Prepare for uninstall' in old version and 
then install the new version of program in the same folder. 

If you have used the old trial version more 30 days ago and now want 
to try the new version, then fully uninstall the old version and install 
the new version. You can try the new version only 3 days!

After installation we strongly advise to set the password to 
Time Boss Control panel, so that your kids won't be able to 
open it and to reconfigure Time Boss from their sessions.

To do that open Time Boss Control panel and activate the 
Password option (Control Panel -> Options -> Password). 

After installation enable the module 'Time Boss IE monitor' 
in Internet Explorer (IE). To do this, start IE and press 'Enable'
button on panel 'The Time Boss IE monitor.NiceKit software
