GCM Client is used by the computer as a Windows Shell instead of Explorer.
If you're not familiar with it, please read carefully the following explanation:
When Windows starts, it loads some environment like desktop icons, taskbar and so on. This is available when the shell is loaded, and by default it is Windows Explorer. Since desktop icons, "Start" button, Control Panel, system keys decrease the system's security, GCM Client can make the machine use it as the Windows shell provide you with the highest possible security. When running as Shell, Client is loaded as soon as Windows starts. Other installed programs (like antivirus program, etc.) are loaded after GCM Client. (Available in all versions of Windows).

You can disable Windows Task Manager from the Server on all client workstations and then enable it back if you want to.

You can adjust Internet Explorer and MSN Messenger settings, including specifying your own window title of Internet Explorer.

GCM Server supports connection with Clients via LAN and Internet as well. In case they are connected via the Internet, the server must have a static IP.

If all the money on a prepaid account runs out or time on a timecode ends up, the session is automatically terminated.

Password for GCM Server and Client access (the same password for both).  Password for GCM Server access is used for Server logon.

The time when a password is entered is recorded in the financial report. 3. User account type defines employee's rights and restrictions (e.g. 'Major admin' is not allowed to view financial reports).
