Getting the SCO Installer

The Self-Checkout Connector (SCO) installer is required to deploy SCO on your environment. This topic explains how to obtain the installer and prepare for installation.

Prerequisites Before Downloading

Ensure the following steps are completed before downloading the SCO installer:

Confirm the environment meets system prerequisites: operating system, IIS, network connectivity, and firewall settings. See Prerequisites for the Self-Checkout Connector (SCO).
Verify that Business Central is configured according to the SCO requirements. See Business Central Configuration Requirements for SCO.
Determine the deployment model (1–1 or 1–N) and manufacturer (Diebold, NCR, or Custom) for your installation.
Identify the target LS Central version to ensure SCO version compatibility.

Version Compatibility

SCO must match the major version of LS Central it connects to. Installing a mismatched version may result in communication failures with BC Web Services.

For example:

LS Central version 27 → SCO version 27
LS Central version 28 → SCO version 28

Obtaining the Installer

SCO installers are distributed through the User Portal. Follow these steps:

Log in to the LS Retail User Portal.
Navigate to the Downloads section and select the SCO product.
Choose the installer version that matches your LS Central environment.
Download the installer package (.exe or .msi depending on distribution).

Installer Packages

The installer package may include:

SCO application files for deployment on a device or server
Optional NCR Connector (required for NCR SCO devices)
Sample configuration files and documentation

Preparing for Installation

Before running the installer, verify:

You have administrative access to the target machine for installation.
Hardware Station is installed and accessible for device communication.
Required authentication information is available:
- On-premises: NavUserPass and Web Service access key
- SaaS: OAuth credentials (tenant ID, client ID, client secret, scope, authority host, OAuth version)
All terminals intended for SCO communication are created in Business Central with the appropriate device type and hardware profile.

Next Steps

Once the installer is downloaded and the environment is prepared, proceed to the Installing the Self-Checkout Connector – Common Flow to complete the deployment.
