This Current Report on Form 8-K/A changes the Item heading used by us to
disclose our Licensing Agreement with MEI. This Current Report on Form 8-K/A
now discloses the License Agreement under Item 8.01 rather than under Item 1.01
as previously set forth in our Form 8-K filed on September 13, 2004.

Item 8.01         OTHER EVENTS

      On September 3, 2004, USA Technologies, Inc. ("USA") entered into a
Technology Licensing Agreement (the "Licensing Agreement") with Mars
Electronics International, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("MEI"). Pursuant to
the Licensing Agreement, USA granted to MEI a non-exclusive, non-transferable
license to utilize certain intellectual property of USA so that MEI payment
systems providing for credit card and other non-cash forms of payment could
connect to USALive(R). USALive(R) is USA's network for services and credit card
transaction capability. The MEI payment systems utilizing the licensed
intellectual property of USA would be offered by MEI to its customers in
connection with vending machines and other automated retailing and
merchandising applications, as well as in the transportation, amusement, music,
gaming and telecommunications industries. Each MEI customer who purchases an
MEI payment system utilizing the licensed intellectual property would enter
into an agreement with USA to connect the MEI payment system to USALive(R).
For each MEI payment system that is connected to USALive(R), MEI would pay a
one-time royalty to USA, and while each MEI customer is connected to USALive(R)
USA would pay to MEI a fixed monthly amount. The Licensing Agreement provides
for a term of 5 years.

         The joint press release of USA and MEI announcing the Licensing
Agreement is incorporated by reference to Exhibit 99.1 to Form 8-K filed on
September 13, 2004.
