Licences for the Hypersoft // system

Hypersoft licences are based on a well thought-out and proven system that takes into account the various interests of our customers and meets the specific requirements of different usage concepts. Our aim is to always provide you with fair offers that are optimally tailored to your project.

Thanks to this flexibility and the comprehensive range of functions, you can efficiently implement your ambitious digitisation goals and rely on a top-class POS system. The combination of Hypersoft's independent solutions, integrated, high-performance partners and an open interface concept has secured the investments of our satisfied customers and partners for decades - for a future that adapts smoothly to your needs.

Basic structure of the licensing concept...

Licences as Software as a Service (SaaS)
Licences as pay as you go (PAYG) according to use

There is a combination of these methods, whereby you also have the choice between purchase or SaaS for the standard licences, for example. This is complemented by a hardware-as-a-service concept, so that you have the choice between buying and "renting" 90% of our devices.

Differentiated fair licence settlement

The provision of licences and billing models is based on a usage-dependent principle that enables programme services to be provided and billed flexibly. The diversity of industry requirements is reflected in our customised solution, which has brought us and our customers to the forefront of what is technically feasible in recent decades. We cordially invite you to familiarise yourself with our billing model and use it to your advantage.

Example of Pay as you go with NoCOO (digital invoices)...

Digital invoices are the digital standard today. Hypersoft is not just about saving thermal paper, because the NoCOO system also uses digital contact with your customers for marketing measures, among other things (everything else and details are described in detail in theNoCOONoCOO - Digital Billing chapter). This means that every active contact (every invoice) can be used for an advertising campaign.

As there are big differences in the frequency of use and we want to make NoCOO fairly accessible to everyone, we count every invoice as an activity. We then combine these small activities into a larger unit that can be billed clearly. With NoCOO, 166 invoices are always summarised in a so-called campaign and one campaign corresponds to €1 in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. A campaign therefore has the campaign divisor 166 in NoCOO, which we also abbreviate to CD166. Pay as you go(PAYG) is also known as payment by use.

Further customisation to actual demand with packages and "flat" rates...

If you use much higher quantities of a product like NoCOO, you are rightly entitled to special pricing, because you are only using a portal in which the invoices (and your cashless merchant and customer receipts) are stored digitally. That is why Hypersoft also has a package and a "flat" for all products that count as activities. You can conveniently book or deselect both on a monthly basis.

If you are not sure whether a package or a flat rate is worthwhile for you, wait until shortly before the end of the month and take a look at your current campaigns in your portal access. If you would have preferred a package or flat rate, please inform your vendor or our support so that this can be applied retroactively for the entire current month (billing takes place on approx. 3-5 days of the following month).

Your unique cloud licence, the CloudBOX...

If you want to extend your Hypersoft POS system with digital services such as webshops, you will need the Hypersoft CloudBOX. The NoCOO Digital Billing and TSE Online Archive and Report Manager Collection services even manage without them. If you use at least one of the following products, you need a CloudBOX once. The CloudBOX is the basis for:

Webshop
web voucher shop
Merchandise Shop
Ticket Shop
Self Order Terminal
(Guest Order Terminal)

Like the cash register software, the web shop can be used in two variants.

SaaS (Software as a Service) and HaaS (Hardware as a Service)
Usage-based billing via campaigns and checks.

Like NoCOO, activities are also added to the webshop. However, since it makes a difference whether a coffee or a gourmet candlelight dinner is sold, there is a so-called check commission, which is calculated on turnover. Here, too, there are packages and flat rates - and, most importantly for you, probably the most cost-effective and powerful eSolutions payment for this application!

Combinations in practice

If products are offered for selection in several methods, you have the option of combining the methods in coordination with your vendor:

You purchase two Hypersoft POS cash register licences and two POS terminals with POS printers. For the two cash register licences you receive a Hypersoft software maintenance contract for updates, upgrades and support.
You would like to use stock management with the controller, but are unsure whether you can get this discipline established in your business. You choose the controller as SaaS, have no acquisition costs and pay one amount per month for licence usage, updates, upgrades and support (should you have successfully implemented the controller you can still decide to purchase a licence). You take your payment terminals as HaaS so that they have a "permanent guarantee" and fixed calculable costs.
You would like to introduce the Hypersoft Webshop as standard in your company in the coming years. They expect few but important turnovers and experiences. You receive this in a combination of SaaS with low costs (Campaigns) per actual order.

Technical Information License, Branches and Franchise

Hypersoft programs are licensed per Hypersoft customer number. Each Hypersoft customer number is linked to an address record at Hypersoft headquarters.

One client can be managed per customer number in the Hypersoft Suite. If you work with several clients, you receive one customer number for each client. Each sales outlet that is connected via sales outlet clearing also receives its own customer number.

You can define your head office as a master client and further assign any clients to this head office as a location client. This automatically results in affiliations and information is "inherited". For example, as a franchisor, you can automatically log on to any new branch with your password from the head office.

In addition, you can create independent store groups, for example, your franchise system can consist of fifty stores, ten of which belong to you as company stores and are linked to each other. In addition, you can "view" the forty franchise companies, whereby personnel data of other companies can be automatically anonymized if data protection requirements are met.

If you are a franchisee with more than one business, there are branchgroups for you. Branch groups provide you with an overview similar to that of a head office or franchisor. You can even add more operations that do not belong to the one franchise system. In this case your group of companies expands WITHOUT this "foreign" information being accessible to the master client of the other company. For a franchisor, this means that he provides a POS system that can operate both within the franchise network and "outside" the franchisee's personal branch group.

Hypersoft licenses and workstations

Almost all Hypersoft programs are multi-user capable. For example, you can operate the controller at several workstations. For this purpose, MCPworkstations are installed (MCP= Master Control Panel).

The number of MCP workstations you want to use must be available with licenses. Each licensed MCP can then access your programs at will (example: no distinction is made between CONTROLLER and time recording, both are available per MCP purchase).

Each Hypersoft customer receives the first MCP workstation once. This allows you, for example, to use an MCP workstation for one or a group of cash registers (please note: The license is valid for one MCP and does not increase with the number of cash registers). Certain licences contain additional MCP workstations, for example the Backoffice Suite and the Controller each contain an MCP workstation. This means that a POS system (+1) with Backoffice Suite (+1) and Controller (+1) already contains 3 MCP workstations.

You can therefore install the MCP once without an additional licence outside the POS terminals and , but then require an additional ZEN SQL licence (database licence). The same applies to each additional MCP workstation, each of which requires a ZEN SQL licence in addition to the Hypersoft licence.

This license right also applies to access via RDP or other desktop remote control programs. In these cases, remote access (and each of the accessing workstations locations) is considered to be the use of another licence that you should have.

Licensees and rights

A license may only be transferred by the customer to a third party if it is an original license authorized by the provider and owned by the customer. Hypersoft licenses can be transferred by transferring the license holder and against a transactioning fee from Hypersoft. You can only transfer / resell licences that you have purchased (e.g. no rental licences, SaaS licences). Hypersoft can only transfer licenses for which an active software maintenance contract exists.

Each license is secured with a license key. The license key, together with the Hypersoft customer number and your customer data, serves as the license key and may not be passed on to third parties without a change of ownership. All information about purchased program licenses is stored at Hypersoft under the Hypersoft customer number and in conjunction with the license key. One Hypersoft Suite system (one server and a number of network workstations depending on the licenses purchased) may be installed, activated and used per license key.

You can also Check licence and service status directly from the MCP.
