TLS and Idealpos / IKM Licensing (2025)

Starting September 1 2025 Idealpos License servers will no longer accept connections using TLS 1.0.

Changes to Idealpos licensing.
On the 1st of September 2025 Microsoft is discontinuing support for TLS 1.0. This means that Idealpos terminals using online licensing must use TLS 1.2 or higher to check license information.

Please ensure the software meets these minimum requirements:

  • .NET Framework 4.6.2
  • Idealpos V7 Build57 or above

You can follow this solution to check what .NET version is installed:

Windows 7 based operating systems will require a separate download of the .NET Framework to update / install.

Windows 8 and above include .NET Framework updates in Windows update. Windows updates will need to be applied to update .NET on these systems.

If you are still experiencing issues after updating .NET Framework and Idealpos, this solution will help create the required registry keys for TLS 1.2 to work:
