Overview

  • Clubs choosing to host their Office/POS environment locally, will need to install the application(s) on their Club’s local workstations after the application Server is built and configured.  Installing the Office applications on local workstations is the responsibility of the Club’s local IT Technician. These instructions are guidelines to assist your local IT Tech in installing both the Clubessential Management Application (CMA) and the Point of Sale (POS).

  • If you are interested in Clubessential providing this service, please contact support to discuss estimated hours, cost, and to schedule an appointment.

Required Permissions

  • Install rights to your PC.

Accessing the Tool

  1. In a web browser, such as Google Chrome, visit the installation URL. The URL for the CMA installer is https://installer.clubessential.com/CMA and the URL for the POS installer is https://installer.clubessential.com/POS 

  2. Click the “Install” button on that page to download the installer. 

  3. Go to your downloads folder and double click the installer to launch it. 

  4. When launched, click the “Install” button. The installation process will begin, and may take several minutes. You may do other tasks while the installation process runs.  

  5. Once the installation is complete, CMA or POS will launch, and the shortcut will appear on your desktop. 

  6. You will be prompted for the connection file. Locate the Clubessential file and double click on Default Connection.

  7. Complete the same steps using the POS link above to get Classic POS on your PC. If the default connection file was assigned to CMA, you will not need to assign when installing the POS.

FAQs

Q.  Do I need to do this for all Point of Sale terminals and computers at the club? 

  • A.  Yes, the uninstall/reinstall process needs to be done on every machine that either CMA and/or Point of Sale are currently installed on.

  • Q.  Is internet access required? 

    • A.  Yes, since the new installation and automatic update process are now web-based, all devices/machines will need internet access to properly update. We recommend speeds of at least 50 Mbps to allow for a timely download.
