The data service is required for submitting electronic claims, automatically verifying insurance eligibilities, and automatically retrieving ERAs. If the data service is installed on the server from an existing installation of Dentrix Enterprise 11.0.4x, you can upgrade the service when you are upgrading server features.
Notes:
This service should be installed on only one computer.
(If you are upgrading from any previous version) If the service is not installed, and you want to use it, install it. See the "Installing the data service" topic.
(If you are upgrading from 11.0.20 only) If the 11.0.20 service is installed, and you want to continue to use it, install the 11.0.49 service. (Install Manager uninstalls the 11.0.20 service and then installs the 11.0.49 service.) See the "Installing the data service" topic.
To upgrade the data service
In Install Manager, under Installed on the left, select Data Service.
