Aldelo SHA-2 Credit Card Processing Mandatory Security Update Information
By: Charles - 2/23/2018

There are mandatory updates/upgrades that may need to be implemented depending on your version of Aldelo Pro for Restaurants, Aldelo EDC and/or your version of Windows OS and version of Windows Server. **If these updates are not met you may not be able to process credit/debit payments and/or be PCI Compliant.** These updates/upgrades are necessary because Aldelo in an effort to increase security and avoid large-scale cyber attacks, is transitioning to SHA-2 (Secure Hash Algorithm) level certificates that provide stronger encryption and user authentication.

**In order to process credit/debit payments:**
     1). Your version of Aldelo Pro must be version 3.8.8011 or later
     2). EDC must be Version 7.0.8011 or later, unless using First Data Buypass or TSYS version(see below for more details)
     3). Must be using Windows 7 or later and Windows Server 2008 R2 or later.
