System Control F/M (SMF950)

Use this program to enter FACTS-related authorization code information, such as total number of terminals, modules purchased, etc. Make sure you have your FACTS Authorization Code Sheet ready when you’re setting up this program.

When entering data, make sure answers you provide are accurate and consistent with what is printed on the Authorization Code Sheet. Every program in the FACTS system checks this record. Any inaccuracies will crash the system.

DO NOT CHANGE the software level, serial number, modules purchased, main company name, ASCII Bit Set and maximum number of terminals after initial installation without contacting Infor. Unauthorized changes to these fields will crash the system.
