The FCC driver update to version 4.1.1 is essential for users of the German Fiscal TSE and the former Swissbit Cloud TSE. Avoid operational disruptions and legal issues by updating your systems in good time. Read now the important steps to perform the update.

Important note on the driver update for the German Fiscal TSE / former Swissbit Cloud TSE For all users of the German Fiscal TSE and the former Swissbit Cloud TSE, it is essential to perform an FCC driver update by July 31, 2024. Specifically, all FCC drivers must be updated to version 4.1.1. Without this update, the TSE provider will no longer be able to deliver signatures, which could lead to significant operational impairments. The required FCC driver 4.1.1 is included by default from EFR version 2.4.2. However, if the driver was installed manually, the update must also be done manually. Steps for updating:

  • Check your current driver version: Make sure you know which version is currently installed on your systems.
  • Manually install the update: If the driver is not updated automatically, follow the instructions for manually installing the FCC driver 4.1.1.
  • Test your systems: After the update, you should ensure that all functions are working correctly and that the TSE is providing signatures properly.


Why is this update so important?

Fiscalization is a central component of the legally compliant processing of POS systems in Germany. A functioning TSE (Technical Security Device) ensures that your POS data is stored securely and immutably. Without the necessary signatures, serious legal and operational consequences could arise.

Conclusion-Make sure your systems are updated in time to ensure smooth operation. Updating to FCC driver version 4.1.1 is essential to continue working in compliance with the law and to avoid operational disruptions.
