Hi, are there any bad experiences when upgrading from 1.2 to new 1.3 version
of RMS?
Im planning to upgrade one of my 3 POS in order to test it before install
everiwhere in the store.

Thanks in advance,

Aldo

I would recommend testing on a dedicated test bed and a back up database
rather than upgrading one of your 3 registers. I've done a couple of
updates and there were no issues, but running mixed versions sounds like a
very bad idea to me. Might want to consider waiting until after the holiday
season to upgrade as well - most stores are busy enough without trying
anything new.

Have done about 20 stores ranging from 1 to 17 stations, so far and again,
no problems yet. Except it will not work for Win 9x, ME or Win 2000. XP
only!

Jeff,

I'm running RMS 1.2 on Win2000 and Win2000 Server. Will I need to upgrade
both or just the clients to XP? I assume we are talking about XP Pro as well.

Thanks,

Dan
