License Key
« on: January 09, 2017, 10:11:01 PM »
We bought the SW some months ago from MAKRO and it was Setup on our Lenovo PC at the time. We recently purchased a POS TouchScreen and I have installed the SW on the POS system and set up everything again from scratch - but I don't know where to find the License Key Number so that we can transfer the License onto the POS System.

Is there somewhere we should look for the number on the PC and or how do I do this?

This post applies to all 4POS users.

We have redeveloped 4POS & also changed the licencing module.

4POS now uses the voucher number that you received on purchase.

You can upgrade your old version of 4pos by following the steps specified here :

or, you can start over as explained in your question by installing the new version of 4POS from here :

http://www.4pos.co.za/support/index.php/topic,811.0.html


Once installed, you will use your voucher number to register.

A licence key is the 4POS voucher number. This voucher number cannot be used on more that 1 pc or business.

The voucher number is verified using the computer hard drive & if different than what was registered, it constitutes a "move" to a new hard drive.

Furthermore, we limit the moves to 10 as if a user tries to use the same licence on 2 different pc's, the number of moves will run up to 10 within a few days & the customer will have to purchase a new licence.

This practice is standard for many software companies to discourage piracy.

What you are explaiming is normal.

Simply approve the licence on the PC that is asking for it
