Samsung Embedded Terminal retirement and optional continued use

Retirement notice (Build 118)

With Build 118 of YSoft SafeQ 6, the Samsung Embedded Terminal (Samsung Smart UX SDK) has been retired. Upgrading to Build 118 or later removes the deprecated Samsung Embedded Terminal package from the Apps folder.

Retirement reasons:

  • Security concerns about the Samsung Embedded Terminal platform, which we can no longer guarantee.

  • Known vulnerabilities that have been reported.

Existing installations will continue to work after Build 118.

Important: After upgrading to Build 118 or later, this file is no longer present in Apps by default and must be added manually before Samsung ET installation or update.

Optional continued use (unsupported)

If you need to install the Samsung Embedded Terminal on an MFD after Build 118, you can do so by manually installing the terminal package. This option is not supported and is provided for exceptional cases only.

Installation steps

  1. Download the terminal package

  2. Copy the file to the Terminal Server applications folder

    • Target folder: SafeQ6\SPOC\terminalserver\Apps

    • Use this path relative to your SafeQ 6 installation (for example, the SPOC installation directory).

No restart is required; the Terminal Server uses the package as long as the file is present in the Apps folder.

When the Samsung ET package is missing

If the Samsung Embedded Terminal package is not present in the Apps folder, installation or update of the Embedded Terminal on Samsung devices will fail.
