Time Boss Cloud

What is the program Time Boss Cloud?

Time Boss Cloud (TBC) is the small freeware program for parents to change settings of Time Boss Pro on kid's computer from internet. TBC works on all Windows systems and on Android mobile.

TBC does not need Time Boss Pro installed. TBC and Time Boss Pro are fully independent programs.
TBC allows on kid's computer to:

Change the last remainig time on current day
Add, change time grants
Show the last screenshot taken on kid's computer.

Kid's computer can be offline when Time Boss Control is active on parent's computer. In this case all changes will take effect at first connection of kid's computer to internet.
Using TBC you can manage several kid's computers.

		For Windows: version 3.22 0.4 mb
		For Android mobile: version 102 0.9 mb

How to configure TBC correctly?

TBC can supports version 3.18 and higher of Time Boss Pro on kid's computer.

At firts you should allow Time Boss Pro on kid's computer to use remote control using TBC:

Please activate in Time Boss Pro the option 'Enable' on panel 'Remote control from parents computer using Time Boss Cloud' (TB->Control panel->Options->Network).
The field 'Cloud' should contain 'nicekit.com' (by default).
Write the computer identifier from yellow text box (use 'Copy' button at right) to any text file or send it to yourself via email.
Save settings and close the control panel of Time Boss Pro. The remote cloud control will activate after 2 minutes after first (since activating this option) kids login in Windows.

When you have changed settings (remaining time for PC, webbrowsers, grants) you should send settings to kid's computer using button 'Send data!'.

If the kid's PC is online (connected to internet), all changes will take effect in 1 minute.
If the kid's PC is offline, all changes will take effect at first connection of kid's computer to internet.

What should you know?

No special settings in Windows on kid's and on parent's computers (routers) needed. TBC uses the regular (HTTP) internet protocol.
The kid's computer identifier is case insensitive, between PC name and first * should be one or more blanks.
TBC keeps all settings in simple text file time_boss_cloud_config.txt in TBC folder.
TBC keeps the last screenshot in file time_boss_cloud_last_screenshot.jpg.
TBC does not use Windows registry.
TBC installs in the folder C:\Users\USER\AppData\Local\Time Boss Cloud\ by default.
The kid's computer identifier changes when you reinstall Time Boss Pro completely.
The kid's computer identifier does not change if you keep settings during Time Boss Pro uninstall.
Language files are the same as in Time Boss.
If you can not save screenshots in TBC for Android then create manually the folder TimeBossCloud in Android Pictures folder and try again.
With TBC you can create grants, after that kid can use grants for all limited by time items (PC, web-browsers, games, websites...). See also here.
