Important Information:
- Customers upgrading from v8.0x will also need the EDH Windows 7 OS License Update (M09747K002xx).
- At a maximum of 48 hours before an upgrade, networks are required up to 48 hours to create the EMV PDL profile for the site. Typically, this is initiated by the retailer; however, Gilbarco Distributors and ASCs should be diligent in communicating this to each retailer to prevent delays in EMV activation on the day of install.
