I am now working with Sambapos since june V5.1.62), licence activated.
windows 7 - Samba server,
5 windows users:
1 user uses the windows 7 comnputer itself (SambaPOS server)
4 users access that computer through remote desktop (RDP)
I am in the middle of the Jungle so the internet is not perfect, sometimes no internet for a couple of hours.
So it’s kind of hard to work withSambaPOS … I have to re-log to the 5 terminals and that’s really annoying, really.
However now I am facing another problem, no matter if I login, close samba, reopen samba, it says that I have to activate some module but the activate button of the licence module is disabled (grey) and it shows “working in trial mode”.
I am backuping (with actions) but I haven’t reloaded a backup since the start (in June).
Never used “training mode” emreAug '16I'm asking just to be ensure. You're logging in to windows always with same windows user account name, right?
Logging to windows with 3 or 4 concurrent users
SambaPOS works great but this licence module is making my daily work really hard.
We are open from 6 am till 2am, so 20 hours a day, 7 days a week and the internet can fail anytime, so I have to come to the restaurant at really anytime to fix it. Waitresses cannot (espcecially the “activation warning”)
Do you use training mode? There were issues with the database duplication that this entails causing licence issues before.
Its an oddity, I manage 5 systems daily locally for clients who have not needed reactivation since install, one it about 3 years live now.
Id suggest a clean sweep for licence/module;
Uninstall licence module on all terminals.
Close all samba instances.
Clear database key on samba portal.
start samba on main machine
instal module
restart samba
activate.
start and install module on all other terminals then restart.
I had licence deactive problem every day 1 year ago, what was causing the issue was that who was closing work period wasn’t waiting to finish the backup process. I turn off auto backup at the end of the day and the problem in my case dissappeared, it fixes if the auto backup finish and then power off pc.
Pay attention if someone is not waiting to finish the backup. That was my particular case.
So its seem that to turn off the backup automatic at the end of the day solved the problem.
Its weird because before i did not have any problem.
Anyway problem solved.
Now need to looking for an other automatic backup way …
