Software Time Lock 6.8.0

Leithauser Research’s Software Time Lock application can be used for one simple task – to restrict computer usage. To be more precise, this security utility will restrict computer usage during specific intervals of time. For example it will block access to the web from 8PM until 7AM; or it will allow the browser to run only for a specific interval of time, let’s say between 4PM and 6PM.

Here is a detailed list of features you can expect to get from Software Time Lock:
- Specify during which intervals of time the internet cannot be accessed. You can do this for each day of the week individually. And you can select several intervals of time during which the internet can be accessed.

- Specify during which intervals of time certain applications cannot be used. Again, you can do this for each day of the week individually, and you can select several intervals of time during which these applications can be accessed.
- Specify intervals of time during which the computer cannot be used at all.
- Limit the amount of time a user can spend online.
- Limit the amount of time an application can be up and running.
- Limit the amount of time the computer can be used.

Here are the technical details you need to know about before you decide to get the application and put it to the test:
Download – the download weighs in at less than 1MB. This is good news; it means that even on a lousy internet connection, the download will complete in no time at all. Not having to wait a long time for a download to complete is always a nice thing.
Installation – installing Software Time Lock on your computer is a straightforward process that should go along smoothly and rapidly. You can install Software Time Lock on any Windows version, including the latest and greatest, Windows 7.
Limitations – you can use Software Time Lock free of charge during a 30-day trial period only.
