You can use the Libki client to enable Groovix server based reservations and authentication under Windows.

Security, privacy, and configuration are not handled by the Windows Libki or Groovix client. The Libki windows client only provides authentication, reservations, and time management.

the password should not be used for any other accounts
the security question answers can be random and should be impossible to guess
  • Run the installer and click Next

  • Enter These Values ( leave others blank , click "Next" as necessary) :
