What you need to know about the new NETePay deployment-swap process

What is a NETePay deployment-swap?

NETePay deployment swaps occur when transferring an active NETePay license (deployment ID) from one computer/device to another. Common use cases include hardware failure and machine upgrades. 

What's new?

In an on-going effort to improve platform security for our partners and their merchants, an e-mail confirmation is now required for the installing dealer to swap NETePay deployments between machines. Confirmation e-mails will come from <donotreply@dcap.com>. These will be sent to the current notification personnel listed in your account. You can edit notification preferences in the “Account Management” section of your PSCS portal.
