School timetable software for Windows: download and setup
School timetable software for Windows should fit the computer and staff account your school actually uses. This guide explains how to download KTT Desktop, check the installation and prepare for activation.
KTT Desktop: Timetable + CoverDesk
Work in an installed Windows application, including offline timetable preparation. The desktop licence is KSh 4,999 once for one Windows installation. Website term and annual memberships are separate.
Download from Microsoft Store → Get your desktop licence
The Store download is free. Full desktop access requires a paid licence.
Check your Windows computer first
Open the official Store listing and compare its current system requirements with the intended school computer. Check the Windows version, available storage and whether your staff account can install the application. If school policy restricts installation, ask the person who manages the computer to help.
Use the computer that will run the timetable day to day. A successful installation on a different machine does not confirm that the office computer is ready. Also check any printer or file-sharing workflow the timetable master expects to use.
Install school timetable software for Windows
- Open the official KTT Microsoft Store listing using the download button above.
- Read the application information and device requirements, then install KTT on your intended Windows computer.
- Launch the application under the staff account that will prepare timetables.
- Review the setup screens and available desktop features before purchasing the licence.
- Contact support about any essential school requirement that remains unclear.
Pay once and activate your installation
Visit the desktop licence page. Enter the school name, email address for the licence and paying M-Pesa number. Approve the prompt on your phone. After payment verification, a 16-character licence code is emailed to you.
Paste the code into KTT Desktop → Activate. Keep the licence email in the school’s records. The licence covers one Windows installation. Ask support about replacement computers or transfers before moving the application.
Test your school workflow after setup
Prepare a representative set of class, teacher, subject and lesson requirements. Use an example that includes the constraints your timetable master regularly handles. Review lesson placement and clashes before approving a final schedule.
Check saving and reopening work under the intended staff account. Keep a separate backup of important school files and label the term and version clearly. If the office computer fails, a second copy should be available to the authorised timetable team.
Review the outputs offered by your installed edition and test the school’s printing process. Do not assume that every website feature or online download is included in the desktop application. Confirm the features your school needs before relying on a particular output.
