FEF

Common guys I dont know how to explain you this. Ok I bought upgrade software from PAR to upgrade from PAR 6.52 TO PAR 6.6 so that I can use integrated credit card payment system in POS itself. After installing software, I have to enter following FEF code (03 03 A1 02 06 00 03 00 FF FF 34 5E 31 98 74) to activated payment function in POS menu. It is the same program for all stores except FEF code or key is different to activate in menu. My question is I saw FEF code for other store and the only difference between mine FEF code or key and other store is from (34 5E 31 98 74). The last five numbers are different. Is that store number or what? That's what I want to know. I dont want to keep buying software for each store but I have to do that cause PAR provides with FEF code. I was wondering if I can figure out last five numbers in FEF code by myself since first 10 numbers in FEF code is same for any store. Thank you

  • When you "buy" (sic) software, all you actually get is a licence to use the software - you do not own the software!

    Usually, the licence will allow you to use the software on only a specific system(s), or a specific number of systems. If you want to use the software on more and/or different systems than your licence permits, then you have to pay for additional licence(s).

    Often, software vendors enforce their licence terms by issuing some kind of "key". This is a cryptographically-generated code that "unlocks" the features that you've paid for - and only those features.

    Obviously, since it is this key that guarantees their income, the software vendor will not have used something that is easy to crack!

    If you want to use these features, you need to pay for them; if you don't think they're worth the money, then you will have to seek an alternative solution!

    "I dont want to keep buying software for each store"

    So what would you say to a customer who came into one of your stores, and took something without paying for it, on the grounds that they paid for the same thing last week and "dont want to keep buying stuff each week"...?!
