Enhancement in Suprema Mobile Access Usage in 2.7.14
Overview
In the former BioStar 2, there were various limitations when registering device through Mobile Credential application and use.
For example, if the user currently had devices in the running BioStar 2 server and wanted to use Suprema Mobile Access, then user had to reset the device, remove it from BioStar 2 server, and re-configure all settings back after they setup Mobile Credential settings. So Suprema improved the Mobile Credential feature for user convenience in BioStar 2.7.14 and renamed it Mobile Access.
This article indicates the updated feature of Suprema Mobile Credential in BioStar v2.7.14.
