- Allstar Terminals: what a PCI PTS approval expiry date means for a buyerEvery PIN-entry terminal carries a PCI PTS approval with a fixed expiry date set by its PTS version: 5.x approvals expire 30 April 2027, 6.x on 30 April 2032, 7.x on 30 April 2035. 4.x approvals expired 30 April 2024. An expired approval is a status on the PCI list, not a shutdown; whether a device must be replaced is decided by the payment brands, processors and acquirers. Check your device on Allstar's PCI PTS expiry tracker.
