Aloha Pos Systems Reviews

Set Processor Performance priority to background services (Leave at Programs if this is FOH/BOH)
Windows 7/Server 2008 install/run Aloha executables as “administrator” and set to Windows XP SP3 compatibility if experiencing issues.
Run CTLSVR/EDCSVR under user account used by the terminals to login to Windows. Make sure account is an administrator. This same user should have full read/write access on the BOOTDRV share across all PC’s.

Square Pos On Windows

Hi!,

Aloha Pos Pricing

Well, since Windows 10 is a free update I'm trying to get our Windows 7 systems updated. On my lab key system with Windows 10 32 bit I've updated it, manually edited the LANA and got the terminals bouncing (Still see a LANA error in the logs though, haven't jumped into that yet...). I'm running into a problem with grinding though. I get the 'Missing security key' when it gets to the trans.log part of the grind. Funny that Aloha works otherwise. Any thoughts on why it won't grind, but works otherwise? They key is good, and was working under Windows 7 with zero issues.
