- License: A license for the PF Kiosk software is being included with the current term of all kiosk existing support agreements and license subscriptions, as of Jan. 1st. If you pay a yearly fee, this is included. If you pay a subscription rate, this is included. If you are out of support, you will need to be back under a support contract in order to install.
- Kiosk ID: Your PF Kiosk ID will be the same as your APM ID* for that machine and will continue with support and expiration under that ID, just as with any software update did under the old APM kiosk. (*Note: 5-digit IDs will carry over automatically–if you have a 4-digit ID, please add a "2" to the front, so APM ID 1234 > would be: PFK ID 21234.)
- Installation: Once you have the prerequisites installed, run the PF Kiosk installer: The link to the most current version is in the Software & Downloads section of myLab under the "Photo Finale Kiosk" section.
- Activation: Your first time installing the new PF Kiosk will have the additional step of activating the license. Please enter the existing Kiosk ID and your Dealer Code to activate.
- Configuration: If this is the first time you are running PFK, you will need to configure the media drive letters. See the Configuration section below for details on drives and optional/advanced configuration settings.
- Re-install: In the case where you are updating from an earlier or beta version of the new PF Kiosk, you do not need to delete the previous version. The installer will automatically overwrite any existing version of PFK, and will even take care of shutting down all of the apps first if you've forgotten.
- Update/install Lab 50: Lab 50 has a new update as well. The link to the most current version is in the Software & Downloads section of myLab under the "Photo Finale Kiosk" section.

What Gets Installed for PF Kiosk
...
- A shortcut to Photo Finale Kiosk.exe (PFK.exe) is installed in the root of the folder, as well as on the desktop.
- PFK.exe is the only app that needs to be launched. It takes care of launching its three four helper apps (LPS, pfRouter, TwainBridge, PrintServer), as well as monitoring by the minute and restarting them as needed.
- The new PFK installer will set the computer to prevent the old APM from running at startup.
