I am looking into purchasing the RMS 1.3 software for my business, but I have a few technical questions that need answered so I don't make any major mistakes along the way. I am going to purchase the software from an online retailer and do the customization myself, as I am good with SQL and client/server setups and feel that this challenge would be satisfying and fun; therefore, I won't work with a local partner. That said, here are my questions:
1.) Let's say at first I purchase 1 lane. I understand that I get 1 dongle that must be on the computer that starts the POS module first. With that one lane license, I am able to have a server holding the database and do functions on it through the Administrator module. If I am wrong on any of this, please clarify. If I purchase another 1 lane package online later and receive the dongle and software, is that all that is needed to run a two lane POS setup? Or do I have to update the dongles or license with Microsoft, the retailer, or something else?2.) Also, when purchasing the support plan, how does Microsoft know how many lanes you have so they can charge you the correct price? (the answer to this probably relates to the answer for my first question.)
3.) Briefly explain the usefulness of QSRules and QSBridge so I may know what I am missing in not having a partner help me directly.Thanks!
