I’ve been using Cash Register Express for 8 years and for the first 5 years, I was paying $40-50 per month to POSNation for “support” that I HAD to used for the first couple years since something about the software has to phone home or what not and when it wasn’t able to, I was locked out. Regardless something happened and it was working well after that so I stopped the monthly service. Now that I’m wanting to upgrade the PC for my POS, I cannot find any way to transfer my licensing to a new PC. POSNation is wanting over a grand to do it since I don’t have their support anymore. So, if I could, I would love to be able to reinstall my current license in a new PC. I don’t have a problem using Cash Register Express as I actually do like their system, it works very well for my need.
I actually don’t mind upgrading to their latest Cash Register Express version, but apparently they were bought out by heartland and now you can’t use their POS without processing with them. What I’m looking for is a PC-based POS system as close to CRE as possible. I want to be able to build my own hardware, which I have already and I process through my own bank.
