The recurring payments service is required for processing automatic recurring payments for payment plans from credit cards on file. If the recurring payments 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 recurring payments 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 recurring payments service" topic.
