Manual Updating

Because POS requires that the user has to log out in order for the update to start, an Apply New Version notification is displayed in the place of the POS username when the new software version is available.

Pressing the notification causes the user to be logged out, and

POS Service is updated, if an update is available. During the update the POS cannot be used, and a screen requesting the user to wait for the update to finish is displayed. Typically the update takes 15 – 30 seconds.
POS UI is updated, if an update is available. When the Payment Service has been updated, the POS UI will restart automatically and take the new version into use. Typically this takes 3 seconds.
