| Made the following changes: - Changed Web.Config default value for App Settings "MaximumActiveUsers" to 10
- When checking Maximum avalable User licence, we take the Employee Licence, Add POS User Licence and add "MaximumActiveUsers"
This means that by default, if you have a 4 POS user licence and a 50 employee licence, you can create a maximum of 64 (10 + 50 + 4) users If you need to create more than 64 users, simply INCREASE the Web Configuration value of "MaximumActiveUsers". There is no licence fee for making this change. This change is only to limit users so we can manage and comply with the Operating system licence. |
