    1. Click Windows Start menu > ('All Programs' or Programs) > CashFootprint Point-of-Sale > Change Server Connection
    2. Proceed to step 3.
  2. Open CashFootprint and wait for the error to appear.
    1. Once the error screen appears, click Change Server.
    2. Proceed to step 3.
      3.
  3. The Server Connection Configuration screen will appear and allow you to adjust the server connection settings.
    1. Server Name:
      1. Click the ellipsis button to the right.
      2. A list of servers will be displayed (this may take a minute).
      3. Select the desired server.
      4. Click OK to confirm the selection.
    2. Database: This should usually be CashFootprint.  The other possible selection would be SQLExpress

      1. If you are using only one pos terminal and the SQL Server software is installed on that computer then Windows Authentication should work.
      2. If you are using more than one computer and you are trying to connect from a second terminal then select SQL Server Authentication and enter the default CashFootprint AppID
        1. Username: 'CashFootprintAppId' or 'sa'
