I think there should be a post with this link stickied. A lot of people don’t know about that site.

Here is a specific link for you:
https://kb.sambapos.com/en/2-1-6-how-to-run-sambapos-on-multiple-computers/
It needs a few updates like for example SQL Server 2017 can also be used even though its not listed.

i have installed the MSSQL 2008 R2 and i have set ip up but from the SambaPOS i can’nt make a connection to the sever
You will need to post some specific screenshots so we can understand what it is doing. Any error messages, logs etc.
Remember we are blind to your computer we can not see what is happening you have to show us.
okay i will send some now

Any particular reason you chose to install SQL Server release that is over 10 years old?
You should install SQL Server 2017 Express ideally, or at least SQL Server 2014 Express.
SambaPOS will still work with MSSQL 2008 R2 I believe but it just seems a strange choice to use an old version and lose out on any improvements implemented in more recent versions.

Thank you
But I tried that but it will not just install
It told me my system does not meet the requirement
So I had to do 2008 R2
Yes I believe 2017 minimum requirement is Windows 10. However 2014 would install on windows 7 without any problem so you should use that.
Please note if your system cannot install 2014 you system spec must be very low and unlikely to support SambaPOS as well.
What is the CPU and RAM of your system?
thank you.
Yes I have been able to connect to the Database I could only install 2008 R2 and its works for me
Now I have another problem at hand after connecting to the database and installing sambapos one the other computer. it’s still operating as a stand-alone
what can be done?
Show your Database Connection settings screen.
