In the new version, where many new features have been added and updates have been made, we would like to draw your attention to some important aspects regarding the licensing of the product.

We have made improvements and adjustments in licensing in this version. Therefore, for all SambaPOS versions prior to 5.7.14, it will be necessary to perform a licensing after the update.

This means that even if you install over the existing V5, after the installation is complete, you should run Licensing.exe to perform a quick licensing using your license email address and password.

After licensing from the main machine, the Message Server will work and automatically license all terminals connected to it once it is defined.

From this version onwards, it is no longer mandatory for terminals to be closed.

Note: If the terminals are open during licensing, you need to exit and re-enter the program for re-licensing.

Step-by-Step Licensing for the Update:

  • Be sure to back up your database.
  • Update/install SambaPOS on all computers.
  • On the main computer, run Licensing.exe to perform licensing.
  • Run the Message Server or restart it if it’s already running.
  • Start your main computer and terminals.

Step-by-Step Licensing for a New Installation

  • Install SambaPOS.
  • Start SambaPOS and set up the SQL Database and Message Server
    connections, then save.
  • Run/Install the Message Server on the port specified.
  • Restart the program (to create the database and connect to the Message Server).
  • Run Licensing.exe to complete the licensing process.
  • Restart the Message Server, and then start SambaPOS to begin using it.
