Available Editions of Docs2Manage

Docs2Manage and Document Storage System used to have two options in terms of editions or version; these were the Standard and Enterprise Edition.  The Standard Edition had many restrictions that made it somewhat incompatible or at least made it inconvenient to upgrade to the Enterprise Edition, which was the unrestricted version of Docs2Manage.  Beginning with Docs2Manage version 2.1.x these restrictions have been lifted and two other editions are now available.  The Standard Edition has been renamed to the Home Office Edition.  All editions now support any database including enterprise databases, any storage medium for documents, any image format including B&W Tiff, use of the Repository, and Annotations- all of which were not allowed in the Standard (Home Office) Edition before.
