Working with Tillypad XL Manager and Tillypad XL POS requires a separate licence for each workplace. A licence determines one or more functionalities, i.e. the list of possible operations that can be carried out in one of the areas of your business (front office, back office, or store document management).
Depending on their sites of verification, licences can be global or local. If global licences are used, the segment application server checks these licences on the licence server via the Internet. By contrast, local licences are checked by the segment application server itself. In order to use local licences, you need to specify local licence packages in the segment specification.
Depending on the length of their validity, licences can be continuous (valid within a certain time period) or temporary (valid for one working session only). For continuous licences this length is limited by the start and end date of their periods of validity. Data on continuous licences are stored in the configuration program file (ini
file).
The following standard licence functionalities are provided for:
Front office:
Back office:
in Tillypad XL POS:
viewing menu item sales.
in Tillypad XL Manager:
viewing and editing all directories related to menu item sales,
viewing lists related to menu item sales,
viewing and editing administrative directories and settings directories.
Store – carrying out operations on stock items and store documents,
Reports – viewing reports.
A licence determines which features are available for a given work station.
The specific privileges allocated to a user based on his or her user role can be defined using access settings. Access settings can only include those privileges that are supported by the licence.
The directory is intended to manage the local and global licences used at a particular work station.
Information about the current licence state is displayed in the status bar in Tillypad XL Manager.
