Doorway Systems has continuously developed the Doorway BMS software since 1993, with over £1.5 million in sales. Microsoft is now taking Windows into new formats where a Licence Key is very inconvenient so Doorway Systems has decided to release the Doorway software for free unrestricted use, and it no longer requires a Licence Key for product activation. Try Doorway in Client/Server mode across your Intranet, see how all features are the same as stand-alone.
