It would be great if we could lock our POS system down so that only the AgileTix is able to be used.  

Windows provides a very simple to setup Kiosk mode via assigned access.  It can be setup to use a single app and restart the app if exited using a standard account. 

This would be great for PCI compliance issues and to make sure that viruses are not added to the secure network due to browsing malicious websites by the POS user.  

Currently if you choose an app for assigned access, ATS does not show up as an option.

Here is some information on creating an app for assigned access.

  Kirk,

  It seems like there is a way to use any classic windows app via assigned access.  See this article for more information on this process.

  Also, for our ticketing kiosks we have used a software product called SiteKiosk to lock down the machine to certain programs and websites.  You can find more information about that at there site.
