Question

  • What is Device Licensing?

  • What does the "Activate a subscription for this device" pop-up message mean?

Answer

Device Licensing is a system that makes sure every Toast device using our software has a matching, active subscription. It helps Toast ensure all active devices are paired with the necessary subscription by:

  • Automatically linking each device to an existing subscription when available

  • Alerting operators if a device does not have a matching subscription

  • Giving customers an easy way to purchase the subscription needed to keep using their device

Activate Your Device Subscription

If you receive a pop-up on your device, follow the prompts by scanning the QR code or using the link to purchase and activate your subscription.

After log-in - Device activation pop-up:
