Overview
If you are a school or business and wish to deploy Mobicip's web filter on your Windows computers, follow the steps below.
Note: If you're a parent setting up parental controls on Windows for your family, head to this article instead.
Enterprise Account Setup
Create a Mobicip Enterprise account at mobicip.com/enterprise. This account is distinct from a Mobicip family or consumer account. Let us know the registered email address so we can add the licenses to your account.
Once licenses are setup and you receive a confirmation, login at mobicip.com to setup filter profile for each group of devices that will share the same filtering settings. For instance, you may want to setup a profile for each classroom, team or sub-group within a classroom.
- Select Filter Profiles from the menu.
- For the filter profile you wish to edit, click the edit icon next to the restriction option.
- Select the restriction option and save your selection.
- Click on 'Add Profile' to setup additional profiles, say one per classroom or cohort of students.

Deployment Without Active Directory Integration
Install the custom build on each Windows computer. You may create one image that includes the custom build and install the image on each of the computers.
On each computer, launch Mobicip and map the Windows users on that computer to the appropriate filter profile in your Mobicip account.
Deployment With Active Directory Integration
Before deploying Mobicip, install the Mobicip Active Directory app on one of the networked computers. Launch the app and map your user directory to the appropriate Mobicip filter profile.
