Layouts are used to format printed output on tickets, passes, vouchers, receipts, etc., See Salesware Layouts. These are placed in the Siriusware\Layouts directory.

If you are installing an existing SiriusSQL database, you cannot begin using Salesware until you place the associated license file in the Siriusware\License directory. If you are installing a “clean” SiriusSQL database, you must make a request to Siriusware Client Services to generate a new license file for you using your unique Client # available from SysManager > Help > About SysManager after you install SysManager. It is also placed in the Siriusware\License directory. You can find more information about license files in the Salesware Modules, Licensing and Maintenance document.

Salesware 4.3 features self-configuration of salespoints using a global .INI capability, as described in the “configuration” section of the Salesware Modules, Licensing and Maintenance document. If you have already configured your global .INI file in SysManager, you can save it from the SysManager > Preferences > Miscellaneous > Global INI tab > Write To File button. You can then re-import the file after a fresh install of a new database to regain your original settings.

The ports.INI file is used to configure cash drawers, customer (pole) displays and change dispensers at a salespoint. After you install Sales, this file can be copied into the Sales folder if you have multiple salespoints that are using the same ports.INI settings.

The entire Salesware documentation set is available as a collection (zip file) of PDF files that can be “unzipped” into the Siriusware\ Docs directory.

Siriusware Inc. provides a number of installers for further functionality. To obtain some of these installers an additional fee may be required. The advantage to having all of the installers that you need is that you can copy them all into one place on your network (typically \Siriusware\Install).

A variety of utilities are available from the Siriusware web site. These utilities are documented in the Salesware User Guide for Advanced Users. These utilities can be copied into the Siriusware\Utilities directory.
