Installation of CyberCafePro 6.0 Client 

Install CyberCafePro Client on every Client computer the public will access. 

To install CyberCafePro Client, for each Client computer: 

1. Make sure that all LAN computers are setup to be able to communicate with 

each other. 

Windows 7 Users Only: Windows 7 users need their ‘Network Location’ to 

be set up as a ‘Home’ or ‘Work’ Network (and not as a ‘Public Network’).You 

can change this setting in Windows 7 by following these steps for both the 

CCP Clients and MCS (Server) PCs: 

a. Click the Windows Start button, and go to Control Panel and select 

Network and Sharing Center. 

1 



. In the Network and Sharing Center window that opens, look at the 

hyperlink under your Internet NIC adapter. Make sure it does not say 

‘Public Network’. If it does say ‘Public Network’, click the ‘Public Network’ 

hyperlink to change it. 

c. Then click ‘Home network’ or ‘Work network’. The network setting will then 

be updated and the OneRoof CyberCafePro Client software will then be 

able to communicate with the OneRoof CyberCafePro Main Control 

Station (“Server”) software. 

2. Download the CyberCafePro Client application software for CyberCafePro 6.0 

and then double-click the Client setup program. 



2

3. From the drop-down list, choose the language you want to use for the installation 

instructions and click OK. 

Note: Even if you select a language for installation that is different than what is already 

set within the MCS Server software (set via Admin>System Settings>Store 

Configuration on the MCS), the next time the Client is booted, the language used in the 

Client application will automatically reset to the MCS settings. 

4. Close all other applications and click Next to start the installation. 



3

5. Review the End User License Agreement, select I accept the agreement and 

then click Next. 



4

6. Review the Copyright notice and then click Next. 



5

7. Confirm (or browse and select) the standard destination folder location where the 

Client software should be installed, and then click Next. 



6

8. Confirm (or browse and select) Start Menu folder location for shortcuts and click 

Next. 



7

9. Confirm to create a desktop icon and select if you want a Quick Launch icon and 

then click Next. 



8

10. Click Finish to complete the install; your system will restart and automatically 

launch the CyberCafePro Client software. 



9

Logon Screen for all Client Computers 

The logon screen is presented to customers as they sit down before a public-access 

Client computer. They then click the Start button and enter their User Account name 

and password. 

The OneRoof CyberCafePro Logon screen 

Note: If you would like to hide the Admin button on all Clients, go to the Advanced 

Settings tab (Navigation: Admin icon>Setup>Client Settings) and then select (check) the 

Hide the Admin button on startup check box, as pictured below. (Ctrl-Shift-A in that 

same area will then toggle visibility of the Admin button when needed.) 



10

Logon – User Account 

This is the basic logon screen presented on each Client, requesting a Username and 

Password – and (if enabled) allowing each account holder to change their password 

every time they log on. 

Username and Password logon screen 



11

First Time Logon 

Users will be prompted to voluntarily enter more details about themselves on initial 

logon to the Main Control Station via any Client (but only the first time). 

Account Details prompt 

To set whether a new account user can modify his fields (and which ones), use check 

boxes shown below. 

Note: This is set on the Main Control Station (MCS), not on the client. (Navigation: 

Admin icon>Setup>Accounts/Codes.) 

Settings on the MCS control whether a user can modify fields 



12

Setting Up the Launch Pad 

Turning on the Launch Pad is done on the MCS universally for all or no clients by 

clicking Launch Pad under each of the three modalities in the MCS store configuration 

(Navigation (in the MCS): Admin icon>System Settings>Store Configuration). 

Configuring the store settings in the MCS 



13

Here is an Example of the Launch Pad as it appears on the right of the Client computer 

screen: 

The Launch Pad 



14

To set up the Launch Pad on the Client computer: 

1. Click the Admin button on the CyberCafePro Client computer skin. 

Note: In the Main Control Station, you must set the Master Client Password so that if the 

Admin button is clicked when the Client is not yet connected to the Server or Main 

Control Station, the Master Client Password will properly be required to access the 

Client Admin screen. Once the MCS is connected to the Client, then any Employee 

logon name and password with Admin access may be used. 

Master Client Password setting location shown above via MCS: Admin>Setup>Client Settings 



15

The Administration Screen opens when you click Admin on the Client skin 

2. In the Administration Screen, use the Program Settings Export/Import Control 

section at the top right to set up a path where you will save settings, images, 

icons, and sound files. This allows you to easily copy Launch Pad settings to 

other Clients. 

Use this area to set up a path so that you can import Launch Pad settings to other Clients 



16

3. Then click Setup under LaunchPad (see below): 

The Setup button under LaunchPad Settings takes you to the Program Administration box, where 

you set up Launch Pad programs in the side-bar area of the Client window 



17

Program Button Settings for LaunchPad 

If you choose to deploy the Programs LaunchPad, this is where you configure the 

choices. 

Setting up the 2 nd button called Games below for applications is illustrated. 

Actually you can rename any of the 6 buttons as you wish. 

You can also enable CD-License Key management (so your # of paid licenses 

can be used at any Client, if available), present Ad-like screens (and brief 

descriptions) for each game, and set game parameters for each. (This can be 

done for all 6 Categories, and named as you choose – not just “Games.) 



18

LaunchPad Administration box, where Programs available on Client and Launch Pad options are 

set 

Sub-Groups 

Sub-Groups are setup for pull-down at the bottom of the Launch Pad by clicking the 

Sub-Groups button below the program group buttons – which opens the Window for 

additions and edits of Sub-Groups (see Launch Pad with Sub-Categories shown below). 

Sub-Groups are used for filtering by creating a set of Sub-Groups within each main 

Group, and then setting each program to a specific Sub-Group. Users can then 'filter' 

each group in the Launch Pad to one of these Sub-Groups (e.g. one has a Games 

group and then creates Sub-Groups of '1st Person Shooter', ‘Sports', 'MMORPG'...You 

could have the game Call of Duty assigned as Sub-Group '1st Person Shooter', 

'Madden NFL' assigned the Sub-Group 'Sports' and World of Warcraft assigned the 

Sub-Group 'MMORPG'. When looking at the Launch Pad, users can then select the 

Games group where he will see all of the mentioned games, but if he selects the Sub- 



19

Group 'Sports' he will then only see the 'Madden NFL' game as it is the assigned to the 

'Sports' Sub-Group. 



20

Sub-Categories in the Launch Pad

Editing the categories for a group 

License Key Management 

License Key management and other advanced settings are accessed in the Program 

Administration screen. 

You should first select the Games button and then select the specific game for which 

you wish to Enable CD Key Management – by selecting the Enable CD Key 

Management for this program button in section 4 of the Program Administration screen 

– and showing the path in the drop-down box in section 2 of the same screen. 

When adding new games, use Add and then Caption to name the new games or 

programs being added. 

You can also disable settings for the Taskbar, Timebar and CCP Client Interface while 

each program is running (if so checked). 

For Profile and CD Key management to work from the shortcuts in the Windows Start 



22

menu, the paths they use in the setup in the Client admin screen should match the 

paths specified in the Target field of that shortcut in Windows. 

Advanced settings in the Program Administration screen 

The OneRoof Client program provides direct access to the Desktop. This means that all 

your applications can be launched traditionally by pointing to Windows Start > 

Programs. 

However, for gaming applications, which require CD Key License management and/or 

Profile Management for Users, both options are included. 

The control choices within this window for games should be self-evident. Contact 

OneRoof/CyberCafePro on our forums if you have any questions. CyberCafePro runs 

some of the largest-seat gaming centers worldwide. 

Click Save after each game entry or setting change. 

Game /App Profile Settings 

You can save User Game/App Profile settings to the MCS so the logins from different 

Clients for the same users will be accessible. 

To save the profile settings: 

1. In the Program Administration screen, click Setup near the bottom left of the box: 

Use the Setup button to save profile settings to the MCS 



23

Saving a profile 

2. Select the game and whether profiles are to be saved for account users and/or 

timecode users (if you offer timecodes). Specify the path where the Profile 

settings are to be stored, taking note of the warning about using a valid, 

accessible, shared path. 

3. Select the Recursive check box (if subfolders are used). 

4. Choose the zip compression level. 

5. Click Save. 



24

Lock Session 

The Lock Session button 

The Lock Session button on the Client Timer screen allows a user to lock the computer 

during a break (so no one else can use it or view the screen), though the time will 

continue to be run (and thus be deducted from the user’s remaining time). 

Locking the session lets the user take a break while keeping the session 

locked and private; timer continues to run 

The user or account holder will be prompted for their password upon return – and upon 

entering correctly, the Client computer will be unlocked – and again available for use. 

If a user is in Play & Pay mode and clicks Lock Session, they will be prompted to enter 

a password to later use to unlock it. If a customer is using an Account, their password 

will unlock the Client. If the customer is using a timecode, then entering the timecode 

itself will also unlock the screen 



25

Reservations 

Reservations are set up on the MCS system by clicking the “People” icon on the MCS, 

as shown below. 

As shown below, setting up Reservations is easy to do whether for the same day or 

future date, and defining the rules (e.g. reserve the computer # minutes ahead of time ). 

Setting up reservations on the MCS 

The figure below shows a Client Logon screen reserved for an individual: 

Make reservations for a user from the MCS; Client screen shows as Reserved 



26

Desktop Timer 

The figure below shows the icon (enlarged) located at the top of all Client Desktops 

after an Account Holder logs on, which gives a snapshot of the time remaining on the 

Account and a Click to End Session button for quick logoff. 

Area at the top of the Client desktop allows easy logoff and provides access to session details 

If the user double-clicks on the Time Remaining (grey) area, it brings up the details of 

the session, as shown below. 

Session details 



27

Chat & Order Window 

If Chat is turned on, this permits communication between the Client customer and the 

employee seated at the Main Control Station. The access button for Chat is shown if the 

control Allow user to initiate chat is selected (checked) (Admin>Setup>Client 

Settings>System Settings). 

Chat & Order button shows on the Client if set up on the MCS 



28

Chat & Order Window 



29

Floating Promotional Textual Marquee Ads 

Via the Main Control Station, Promotional Text Marquee Ads (or float-line banners) may 

be set to float across Client Logon screens (below the logo area) as shown in orange in 

the illustration below. (See MCS Manual for settings.) 

Promotional banners can be set up (on the MCS) to scroll across the Client Logon screen 



30

Logo Customization 

To replace the OneRoof logo in the Client computer Logon screen, first create a .jpg, 

.bmp, .wmf, .emf, .swf, or .gif format image of your own logo sized 468 x 60 pixels. Then 

drop the image into the Banners folder. Re-boot the Client and you should see your logo 

appear (see pathway in the illustration below). 

Display your own logo on the Client computer Logon screen by putting it in the Banners folder 



31

Copying Client Settings (i.e. “cloning” to all other Clients) 

Navigation: Main Control Station (not in Client): Admin icon>Setup>Client 

Settings>Security 

This provides an important timesaving shortcut on the MCS to copy (or clone) from a 

specific Client that has individually been set-up all its Client settings to ALL other Clients 

within your network. 

Note: On the Client, you can also save Launch Pad settings and then import them to 

other Clients. For more information, see the discussion of the Program Settings 

Export/Import Control section on page 16. 

This is a KEY shortcut. Below are the instructions for setting-up your first Client. 

Once done – you can copy to all other Clients (highlight them first) – and then quickly 

and easily copy by selecting the “Paste to All” selection. 

If you later make a change to a Client – simply save and then Copy via “Paste to All” to 

all other Clients again. 

Fig.9 

In the list, you will see every client that has the CyberCafePro Client software installed – 

and that are connected to your MCS. Once they appear, you can easily copy settings 

from any one to ALL. 



32

Admin – Access to the Client Computer Controls 

On Client computers, click the Admin button (lower right on Logon screen), leave 

Administer workstation selected and click OK to bring up the choices to manage the 

Client PC. 

Click the Admin button to manage the Client PC 

Note: If the Admin button is set to be not visible per settings in the MCS (Advanced tab 

under Client settings), use Ctrl-Shift-A to toggle the visibility of the Admin button so it 

can be clicked. 

These same functions can be administered from the MCS (if the logged on employee 

has the Administrative permissions enabled to permit them to do so), but should 

connectivity to the Client be lost, this Admin button on each Client provides an override. 

The Username and Password are usually those of an employee with Admin status (if 

MCS is connected); otherwise, the Client PC’s password is used. 

When you click OK, the Administration Screen for the Client opens, as illustrated below. 



33

Administration Screen 

Connection Settings 

Auto Search Now should automatically find the Main Control Station on your network. 

We suggest you use the first option, Always search for server on start (Dynamic IP). 

If the IP address of the MCS is not automatically found, use the Server IP option (as 

shown) and fill in the IP address of the Main Control Station (MCS). If you don’t know 

the IP address of the MCS, you can easily get it if you have Admin rights by using the 

pull-down under Help on the MCS and then selecting SaaS Configuration. [If your MCS 

has a Static IP this option would also be preferred (and a bit faster).] 



34

Use the SaaS Configuration command, under Help on the MCS, to get the MCS IP 

The SaaS Information box, showing the IP Address of the MCS, accessed via help pull-down 

In addition, the Server Port is usually set for default of 9499 or 9500 in section 3 of the 

Administration Screen. 

Control Panel Items 

Choices in the pull-down list in the Control Panel Items section provide shortcuts to the 

Windows Control Panel functions. 

Note: Some of these items may not be accessible depending on the logged on account 

you are running under, so you may need to log on to an admin account in Windows. 



35

Control Panel Items area in the Administration screen 

Auto-Login Settings (i.e. Automatic Client Skin Boot-up) 

Enter settings here for auto-login 



36

Administrator Username 

In order to be able to secure and control the system, CyberCafePro Client requires the 

login credentials of a Windows Administrative account. By default, as shown will appear 

the ‘Administrator’ account and the password may be blank. 

If you leave it blank, you should then select the option to Allow blank password as it 

modifies a system setting to allow auto-logging into Windows with a blank password 

field. 

We however recommend that you instead open the Windows User Account 

administration window (access it by using the Manage Accounts button shown above, or 

through Windows Control Panel), and setup a password for the Administrative account 

you will be using in order to increase the overall security of the system. 

Administrator Username: This is the login username of the administrative Windows 

Account that CyberCafePro will use to auto logon to the system with, and which then 

allows CyberCafePro the control it requires to manage the system. 

Administrative Password 

This is the password for the selected Administrative account. We recommend you set 

one up in Windows and then repeat it in the CyberCafePro Client window (and do the 

same for all Clients). 

Domain 

If using a Domain Controller such as Active Directory, you may need to enter this 

information in order to login to the domain controller. 

Administrators’ Group Name 

In non-English Windows installations, the name of the Administrators group may not be 

‘Administrators’ -- which will cause issues with the verification process CyberCafePro 

uses for accounts. If you have problems setting the account and password, you may 

need to modify this value to match the name of the Administrators group on your 

Windows installation. 

Alternate Account 

We recommend that you enter a non-Administrative Employee account for the second 

field which will be the account used to launch applications and desktop access. In so 

doing, any programs accessed from the desktop would also be launched under this 

non-Administrative Employee account. [Some programs may not like being launched 

under this non admin account, but you can select the option for those individual 

programs (if needed) to launch as the administrative account.] 



37

Force auto login button 

Once the Clients and CyberCafePro MCS are operating properly and consistently, we 

suggest you select (check) this function on each Client. It will ensure the Client boots 

automatically, logs into Windows and does not bypass logon and go to the Windows 

logon screen. This is more of a convenience feature should you have customers trying 

to bypass the login screen -- forcing you to manually have to go to the client computer 

and log it into Windows. [No security is compromised either way.] 

Bypass verification of Accounts (Correct information entered but the 

fields are still red) 

In very rare cases due to some abnormal Windows setups, you may find that the 

username and password are not being accepted as valid by CyberCafePro, even 

though you are certain they are correct. In these cases you can select to bypass the 

account verification and accept the usernames and passwords as entered…but make 

sure you are 100% sure of the information. Worst case is that you will have to manually 

logon to the PC each time, but that can also be annoying. 

Once all the details have been entered, select OK and the CyberCafePro Client will 

automatically startup and be in control of the system. 

Wallpaper Settings 

Here you can select a different background for your Desktop on Clients. Click Setup 

under Wallpaper Settings, 

If you choose to not use Wallpaper, you can instead choose or re-set the Desktop Color 

by clicking Do not use a wallpaper and then click the Desktop Color button, choose a 

color and click OK. 



38

Setting wallpaper 

Reset All Settings 

Do not use this without being an expert at setting up CyberCafePro. It will revert all 

setting to defaults – and wipe away custom entries you have already made in your setups 

for a Client. 

Exit CCP to Windows 

This button exits the CyberCafePro Client software and provides access to the Windows 

Desktop. This can also be initiated from the Main Control Station (if the logged on 

Employee has been given the Admin permission to set Clients to Desktop). 



39

Shutting Down the Clients at Days End 

At the end of the day when you are ready to shutdown all the computers, right-click the 

Client icon or the desktop workspace on the MCS. Important: 

• Select to either Shutdown Client or Shutdown all unused. These actions shut 

down Windows so that when rebooted, the CyberCafePro Client program will run 

after the system auto-logs in. 

• DO NOT select Set to Windows or Set All Clients to Windows as this will prevent 

the CyberCafePro Client software from loading again until manually started. 

Note that if you have Wake-On-LAN network cards in the Client PCs, you can easily 

turn them all on again right from the CyberCafePro MCS by clicking the workspace area 

and selecting Wake All Clients.
