About this release
The Commerce Suite is integrated with LS Central, providing simplified apps and service with real-time connectivity through web services. This version was released with LS Central version 26.0.
The Commerce Suite includes:
- Commerce Service – version 2025.4
- Mobile POS (Android) – version 2025.4
- Mobile Inventory (Android) – version 2025.4

Commerce Service
Note: There is new Encr setting for password encryption to use in Appsetting. The hard-coded key for it has been removed and moved to Appsetting, and it can be encrypted there as well. If you used encryption for passwords in older versions, you may need to redo the password encryption and update the settings files with new data.
Use the new CommercePwdGenerator.exe tool to generate a new encrypted password. To encrypt Encr Code, use the tool without Encr Code, and put the password into the Appsettings file as:
<add key="Security.EncrCode" value="Rxxxx=:encr:" />
