Other Notes on TimeClick Computer Options
Older versions of TimeClick, namely versions LE 16, LE 12, LE SP1, LE, and version 10, are unsupported and unavailable for installation, but will still run on older operating systems such as Windows XP. However, we recommend using an operating system newer than Windows XP to ensure your computer system is working well and is supported by Windows. Newer versions of TimeClick, version 2018 and newer, must be installed on Windows 7 or newer.
*Note that Microsoft is no longer supporting Windows 7, 8, or Server 2008. Any issues you may run into on these versions may not be supported by TimeClick. For more information, read this blog.
Using a Windows tablet such as a Windows Surface works just fine in many cases but it is recommended to use a full desktop computer or thin client if possible for ease of use. If you are planning to use a Windows tablet as a clock in and out station, please consider the following:
- The tablet must be running a full version of Windows. Most Windows tablets should be running Windows 10 by default so this should not be an issue in most cases.
- Consider using an attachable keyboard for your employees to clock in and out with. Most companies require employees to enter a private password to clock in and out. This process is easiest with a physical keyboard. If you do not wish to use a physical keyboard, the on-screen keyboard may also work.
- The screens of Windows tablets are smaller so TimeClick will have a smaller resolution to accommodate the reduced screen size. If this presents an issue for clicking, you have the option to increase the font size of the TimeClick main screen in Admin mode >> Preferences >> Display.
