Registration or trial period

After you have downloaded JTL-POS from the Play Store, you can choose between the following setup options:

I am already a customer of JTL-Software and would like to log in via the JTL-Customer Centre.

• If you are already a JTL customer, click Login/Registration and log in to the JTL-Customer Centre. You can then use JTL-POS straight away and without any time restrictions.

I am a new customer and would like to register as a customer in the JTL-Customer Centre.

• If are not yet a customer of JTL-Software, you can register in the JTL-Customer Centre and use JTL-POS straight away without any time restrictions. Tap on Login/Registration and register in the JTL-Customer Centre.

I would like to test JTL-POS without registering in the JTL-Customer Centre.

• If you are not yet a customer of JTL-Software, you can test JTL-POS for a limited period of time without registering in the JTL-Customer Centre. At the end of the trial period, you must register with the JTL-Customer Centre if you want to continue using JTL-POS. After registration, you can decide if you want to keep your test database or if you want to start over from scratch. Select the option Demo (test JTL-POS).

Restoring database backups
