Hello everyone, how are you? First of all, I’m new here, and I didn’t see anything about this type of post in the rules, so I believe I’m not violating any rules, right? I don’t know if I can mention the name of the software here, so I chose not to, unless it’s allowed. That’s why I censored the logo image that contains its name, and the text with its name.

It’s a POS system, I think only available here in Brazil. I can’t find the logo to change it. In fact, there are almost no images. I tried accessing the images with Resource Hacker, Resource Turner, and similar programs, but nothing worked. The bitmaps simply don’t appear.

Searching online, I found two identical software programs. I downloaded them, and when I checked, it was exactly the same system/software. Someone pirated them and managed to change the images and some other system features, but unfortunately, they released pirated versions and also offered them for sale with a trial mode. So, yes, you can change it; I just couldn’t do anything, not even with the help of AI.

I want to use it to manage my business. I’ve gone back to working with food delivery, and this software is very good. With it, I can control incoming and outgoing funds, manage inventory, and do many things in a much more organized way than manually. I used the trial version, and it’s very good and easy to use. I want to modify it to put a different logo and system name (my store’s name and a different logo on the interface). But it seems impossible; even in the pirated versions I mentioned, I couldn’t find the logo or change the window texts. In their folder, there’s a logo.bmp file; I changed the image and nothing changed, I removed the image and nothing changed, meaning the logo.bmp in the main folder is useless.

I’m not a programmer, but I’ve enjoyed tinkering with these things since I was little, and I’m always tinkering with everything to modify something. But this software is impossible; even with AI help, I couldn’t find the logo that appears on the interface or change the texts. Can anyone help me?

    I don’t have an answer to your problem unfortunately, just curious. Is there any way this software is actually whitelabel and these other versions are legitimately using it and their own branding?

      I hadn’t thought about it that way; it might even be true. But there are several strange websites that sell the same software, even without the logo.

      That same software is sold under other names and logos on Facebook Marketplace and some strange websites online, and in various other places with a “lifetime license.” However, the company that owns the original software doesn’t sell lifetime licenses; it “rents” the software monthly.
