Trying to help someone with a used micros pos system which they purchased for their business, according to what i have read on the forum you use the cal to install e7 on the windows ce platform. when i do this however it asks me for a server location and there is no server. they do have the usb dongle for the license installed but the e7 software is not installing on the workstation and according to what i have read on some of the posts you can use a ws5 terminal to run e7 by itself.

Any help on this will be greatly appeciated.
 
Is the WS5 CE.NET or POSReady2009? I haven't used e7, but 3700 can use workstations that run x86 code as a backup database server.
 
Not sure about that, I also have the other one which has 3700 on it but they don't have the configuration password. Do you have anyway that you know how to reset the password in 3700? Also, trying to find out if either one of these pos workstations can run without a pc, I have read conflicting posts that some say you can run micros ws5 with e7 as a standalone system without a server. I don't have an issue with running either one of these with a server, just need to know what am I suppose to be running on a pc as server software for these machines to work. I have not been able to find out if there was special software to install on a pc to function as a pos server either of these machines. Thanks for any help.
 
The usb micros license key is just that a key. it does not contain the software application on it.
The e7 software is loaded onto a usb key plugged into the workstation and run the exe to install.
E7 runs as standalone terminal or linked to a pc.

The 3700 workstation needs to be reset to factory that will remove the 3700 client software. No pass word is required for this.
Then you can install e7 software on it.

So it seems you need the software and install manual to program it. Not something you just figure out with out a lot of pain and suffering.

To start from starch is a pain you really need a core db to start with.
 
Thanks for the info, I am not sure what the other model terminal is that has the 3700 software on it but it can run e7? Where can I find an E7 download if it exists. I am very computer savy so I am not afraid of the challenge but if you know where I can find a core db to download that would be great to.
 
Would be nice to have, I have been looking for a copy of it too.
 
@MasterChief3800, do you have any installation and other manuals for it as well?
 
Hi does anyone have the version for A micros WS4 please or where i can get it from
 
I'm in the same boat my boss bought a used WS5 off of ebay and I am trying to get it on the existing server but it seems to be missing the cal files I try and re configure cal and I get an error that the exe doesn't exist I am getting a no nk.bin error at boot up. Any suggestions? I tried to factory restore from another thread but the Hmlton password but it doesn't work.
 
Yes Thank you very much, funny that the micros documentation had Hmlton password. Loaded now to figure out why I can get it active on the network.
