Groovix Demo Disc

The Groovix PAC demo provides an easy way of trying out Groovix PAC for yourself and can be run from the disc without making changes to your computer. The demo is one example of what's possible in Groovix PAC software including a catalog and web login with time management emulation. We can customize every aspect of the software for you including time quotas, reservations, print management, filtering, acceptable use policies, authentication and remote management. We can customize Groovix to support additional hardware and software as well.
