Opos CCOs version 1.13 are compatible with Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2008, and Windows Server 2012. They are also compatible with OPOS Service Objects (SOs) that support UnifiedPOS versions from 1.01 to 1.13. However, some SOs may have bugs or limitations that prevent them from working properly with the CCOs. Therefore, it is recommended to use the latest SOs from the device manufacturers or vendors.
Opos CCOs version 1.13 are not the latest version of the CCOs available. The current version of the CCOs is 1.14.001, which was released in February 2015 and supports UnifiedPOS version 1.14.1. The version 1.14.001 CCOs can also be used with applications built against previous CCO releases. However, some applications may require specific features or bug fixes that are only available in version 1.13 or earlier versions of the CCOs. Therefore, it is important to check the compatibility and requirements of the applications before upgrading or installing the CCOs.
Opos Common Control Objects version 1.13 are a useful and reliable software component for POS developers and users who need to integrate various POS devices into their applications. They provide a standard and consistent interface for different types of devices from different manufacturers and vendors.
