Note: It will take some efforts from you to setup because Microsoft does not provide a technology for automatic installs yet. So contact support@grinmark4u.com for assistance if needed. We're always looking to get feedback from our customers. Please let us know where we've impressed you or where we can improve.

Note: If you purchased the Multi User plan then follow this guide instead: Multi User Installation
