Given the immense amount of interest in the new version of the Microsoft RMS point of sale software - now re-branded as Retail Management Hero (RMH), here are the technical requirements for RMS.
- Windows version 7, 8.1 or 10
- Windows server 2008+/SQL Express/SQL 2008+
- If upgrading from RMS then you need to be on version 2.014+ of RMS
- If upgrading from RMS then you need to be current on your annual software maintenance agreement or the RMH lane licenses are $250/lane instead of free (plus $215 per lane for year 1 software maintenance)
- SMTP server information for setting up RMH to email receipts, etc
- OPOS peripherals (receipt printer, etc)
- .Net 3.5+
- Compatible platform and terminals if using EMV and standard credit and debit card processing
The remaining memory and similar requirements are pretty basic as RMH does not need a lot of memory or a large hard drive (but does need "room to grow" as the database increases in size over time).
