tocSMS 8.9 pci has been reworked to comply with the pci-dss_compliance standards. Upgrading from a pre 8.9 pci version requires a few actions from an employee with set-up privileges to meet these standards. This page will guide you through the process.

Upgrading to SMS 8.9 pci.

Payment information is modified during this process may not show properly if the upgrade process is interrupted or mishandled.

1. Install and setup the C3S Host application. Follow this link for details: cyrious_credit_card_service_c3s.
2. Update the SMS.exe, SSLIP.exe, SMSSystemData.mdb, and SMSSystemConfig.mdb files.
3. Start the SSLIP. After the SSLIP completes its initialization process, it will automatically run the CS3Host application. The C3SHost application will appear in the taskbar as a blue-green Cyrious icon. If the C3SHost does not appear, follow this link to troubleshoot: cyrious_credit_card_service_c3s.
4. Start Cyrious.
5. For the initial setup, the Set-up password is required. Anyone else will be forced to log off and prompted to get an employee with the Set-up password to continue.
6. After entering the password, Cyrious will inform the user that as required by the pci-dss_compliance standards, a password is needed to encrypt sensitive credit card information. This password is separate from the login password.

WARNING: This password is used for encrypting information and when changed, previously encrypted information will not be recoverable.

1. After entering the password, Cyrious will inform the user that a short phrase is needed in order to prevent an unauthorized changing of the password.

WARNING: Without this phrase, the password CANNOT be changed in the future.

1. Once the password and phrase are entered, a dialog will appear informing the user that existing payment information must be updated. The dialog will give an estimate on how long the process will take. The user has the option to continue or cancel if time does not permit the update at the moment. If canceled, Cyrious will shut down. This process must be performed before SMS 8.9 pci can be used. If the update cannot be performed at the time, Cyrious must be reverted to the previous version and the backup of the database restored due to the database changes made. SMS 8.9 pci employee passwords are not compatible with earlier versions.
2. All default credit card information will be updated in the database at this point.

WARNING: Do NOT close Control during this time.

1. Once updated, Cyrious will open and can be used from this point on.
