osFinancials 5 Business Class
Installation files / changelog link : osFinancials-Turbocash-Business-version
After years of developing and supporting osFinancials and TurboCASH, we have realized that the current model is not sustainable. Therefore, we are introducing a new version called "osFinancials 5 Business" to break through this glass ceiling.
osFinancials 4 will continue to be available for free use. However, if you want to access additional features and functionalities, we recommend upgrading to "osFinancials 5 Business". If your business has fewer than 500 transactions/documents, you can use this version free of charge. For businesses with more than 500 transactions/documents, we ask for a contribution of 50 euros (excluding taxes) or 60 US dollars per year.
If you already have a subscription for a multi-user or retail POS, the osFinancials 5 Business license will be included.
Once you install osFinancials 5 on your system, updates will be released from time to time, containing bug fixes, new features, and other improvements.
