Install on new NAS using previous version

[benctwg]

I have one full license (out of totally 3) installed and working fine for 2 years on one NAS, which is v2.2 update 240, but never extended subscriptions since then. Now I want to install on another NAS, but of course cannot use the latest version. I think I'm eligible to use that same update 240 but could not find the corresponding download page. Would you please help.

To install MinimServer 2.2 update 240 on your new NAS, do the following:

1) Install MinimServer 2.2 on the NAS
2) Install MinimWatch (see this page) on another computer if not already installed
3) Start MinimWatch. You should see a taskbar icon (musical note) with options for MinimServer control and configuration.
4) From the icon menu, select Properties
5) In the Properties dialog, select the Packages tab
6) In the 'Other package' field, type: minimserver-update-240
7) Click Install and follow the prompts
8) When the package has been installed succcessfully, click Relaunch

Installed the latest Minimwatch as instructed, and also refresh to the latest version of Java. However, Minimwatch still could not be launched.

What device did you use to install and run MinimWatch? What exactly happened when you tried to launch it? If there was an error message, what did the message say?

Intel i7 based desktop running Win 11 pro; Java v8 update431. When starting MinimWatch, nothing happen, and no error message. I also tried to reboot but same thing happened.

Hi Simon,

It is working now, and the license has been activated successfully.

All I've just done was... remove MinimWatch and Java completely, reboot, did some directory clean up, and then reinstall Java and MinimWatch.

Thanks for your help.
