Establishing your initial Aloha Takeout site key
It is necessary to access the TakeoutDataProtectionTool.exe to establish your initial site key. The data protection tool manages the encryption keys for the Aloha Takeout product, to protect stored credit card information in accordance with the PCI-DSS specification. The Takeout Data Protection Tool allows the key custodian to establish or change the site key for the Aloha Takeout site. The key custodian should run the Takeout Data Protection Tool.
When running the Takeout Data Protection Tool for the first time, the main window appears with the Create Key button available for use.

After initially entering the site key, the system requires you to enter the site key to perform any further actions. Once established, the site key remains in effect until changed. Aloha Takeout provides full message support for any errors in key number entry that may occur.
Note: The site key resides in the encrypted file \Aloha Takeout\Data\ATO_SK.dat. If the site key is forgotten or becomes corrupt, you can delete this file and enter a new site key. If this becomes necessary, all stored payment card information becomes unavailable for future use. Contact your NCR team member for help, before you delete this file.
