In Simphony release 2.10 and later, prerequisite software is pre-loaded in a local directory on new Oracle MICROS workstations, rather than downloading the prerequisite software from the Enterprise through CAL. This reduces the time between opening a new Oracle MICROS workstation and signing in to the Simphony POS client for the first time. In addition, a CAL package is only transferred if the client workstation is not on the most current version.
