Hi, I am looking for a way to create a notification at Micros terminals that alerts the cashiers if the CAL function is turned off on that terminal. We need to be sure that all the terminals got the last updated files, It's this a currently micros function or could be created inside a SIM?

Thanks in advance.

HKLM\Software\Micros\CAL\Config\CALEnabled is where it shows up on Win32 and a WS5, should be similar for most other devices.

With a CAL script you can simply force it enabled by setting that DWORD to 1.
 
Of course, if CAL isn't enabled, that might not take...

The only other idea I have is to add a "System Info" button to the workstations to have the staff manually check the software version number. Past that, everything I know of requires being on-site with the unit or having remote access to it somehow.
 

Thanks DJensen999 for your recommendations, I will try both Options.


Regards

Josue R.
