Requirements

General for LS One applications

Operative system:

Running LS One applications requires one of the following operating systems:

  • Windows 7 SP1 and later
  • Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 and later

SQL Server

LS One runs on a database that requires SQL Server Express 2012 or SQL Server 2012 or later
Usually the POS uses the SQL Server Express version and HQ uses the full SQL Server version

  • Windows Installer 4.5 (Required for SQL Server 2016)

LS One POS

LS One is designed to be POS hardware brand agnostic. Regardless of hardware brand, if a device meets the hardware requirements outlined in the Minimum Requirements section, and it is OPOS compliant, we are unaware of any evidence where a specific brand(s) hardware is known to be an issue.

  • Processor: 2 GHz dual core processor (64 bit recommended) or faster.
  • Memory: 4 GB RAM
  • Hard disk: 7 GB free space (SSD recommended) (to take advantage of the maximum data storage capabilities of SQL Server Express 2016).
  • Minimum screen resolution: 1024x768
  • OPOS drivers for your retail peripherals

SQL Server

If the LS One POS has a local database to utilize the offline capabilities it is often run with SQL Server Express version.

In this case the POS it requires SQL Server Express 2012 or SQL Server 2012 or later.

 

Site Manager

Operating systems:

  • Windows 7 SP1 and later
  • Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 and later

Required frameworks:

  • .NET Framework 4.7

 

Site Service

A windows service that is run at the LS One head office and for restaurants locally at the store also. The same requirements apply to the Site Service as the other LS One applications

Operating systems:

  • Windows 7 SP1 and later
  • Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 and later

For big multistore installations you might need to consider the CPU or RAM to speed up the performance of the Site Service

OPOS Devices

The LS One POS communicates to retail devices such as the receipt printer, barcode reader and scales through the OPOS drivers. LS One supports UnifiedPOS 1.14

Printing

Windows printers or OPOS receipt printers

Barcode scanning

Either keyboard input devices or OPOS barcode

Scales

OPOS scales

MSR card readers

Either keyboard input devices or OPOS card readers

 

Mobile device

LS Omni for LS One includes Mobile POS and Inventory solutions. These solutions run on the current standard Android mobile platform and on the standard devices that run these mobile operating systems. In the case where it is desired to have a ruggedized device/sled or built in scanner capabilities, there are a number of devices on the market. Each brand and model may have proprietary (non-standardized) communication requirements between the scanner and LS Omni software. As such each device may require customization of the LS Omni software to be functional with the device selected.

System requirements for the Omni Server

  • Windows 7/8/10 Professional, Windows Server 2008 and above.

  • IIS 7 and above.

  • SQL Server 2012 and above – with Full-Text Search feature installed.

Server Recommendations

Here are some tips

  • Use SSD for machines running the DD.
  • LS One software is not very CPU or disk demanding, the main component is the SQL server.
  • Since storage space can usually be expanded, you could start somewhere around 500GB.
    Once you have a fully functional HQ database you’ll have a better estimate of how big the data is.
  • CPU and Memory depend heavily on the SQL server, but we recommend that you have at least around 8GB to start with. This will depend on the replication- and data load of the SQL server.
  • CPU will depend on if you’re going for cloud-based hosting or on-prem, but consider at least x64 QUAD core 2.0GHz to be the minimum.
