MinimServer 2 Starter Edition
MinimServer 2 Starter Edition makes it easy to get started with MinimServer. A new web-based user interface makes Starter Edition easy to manage and configure. To keep things simple, Starter Edition has few configuration options. There's a new Quick start guide that covers everything you need to get up and running. Starter Edition has no license fee and does not expire.
