1 Handling CAL Packages After the Enterprise is Upgraded

This guide provides a high level overview of the steps which need to be performed at each of your properties and revenue centers after an upgrade of your Simphony enterprise application server to the latest version of software. Going forward, the term Location, as used in the steps which follow, represents the properties and revenue centers you are responsible for configuring. Perform each of these post-upgrade tasks to ensure your Simphony workstations, CAPS and CAPS on Internet Information Services (IIS) clients, and Kitchen Display System (KDS) are running the latest version.

Note:

Once the upgrade to your Simphony enterprise application server has been completed, and prior to your location’s planned upgrade, all CAL packages can be scheduled (via the Effective From and Effective To settings) to download to workstations or other devices from the CAL Packages module in the Simphony EMC.

Follow the steps outlined in Chapter 1 of this document for individual locations, but if you are maintaining multiple locations for an enterprise, you can change CAL package versions using the Change Package Version link as described in Chapter 2 of the Client Deployment Guide in the Changing a CAL Package Version topic.
