No additional hardware is required by
either the server or clients but facilities are provided for receipt printers, cash drawers and pole displays. Transactions
are individually allocated with a secure associate log on for easy trackablility
Professional print facilities provided include custom receipts with logo and barcode printing.

|
| Do
I need to activate the full version after installation? |
Yes, the full server version of the
program requires activation via a code that is emailed.
|
| Network |
The programs use standard Windows remote procedure calls (RPCs) to communicate and the client just requires the network name of the server PC. No other
configuration is necessary.
The server and client may be run on the same computer for evaluation purposes. The product requires a Microsoft
'Workgroup' network. The shareware versions may be used to check connectivity.
Note that Windows XP service pack 2 was known to affect remote procedure calls (Service pack 3 corrected it). The Windows firewall being disabled may also simplify any connectivity issues.
