⚠  
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.

I just added a custom button and it worked no issues. We need a bit more understanding.

I was able to go back in and edit categories and products just fine after.

Did you ever email support?

the problem comes when i want to edit those Custom buttons, when i press the ‘edit category products’ where there is custom buttons, when i press ok it crushes

i did a test when i install version below 5.7.14 it doesnt have that problem, it looks like the problem started with version 5.7.14 going up

i did email the support and emailed @Nizam and even sent him my backup then he told me the issue is not related to my database only since it happened on different databases as well…he informed the dev team regarding the issue since
