eComStation
Serenity Systems licensed the operating system OS/2 at the end of 2000. The software is sold under the product name eComStation. The license provides no access to the OS/2 source code. The first release came out in 2001 and was based on Convenience Pak 1 of OS/2, supplemented with useful third party software.
eComStation 1.1 based on OS/2 4.52 has been published on 2003-05-24. Interested customers can choose between the basic system with few standard programs, or the extended version with additional programs. The user interface has been improved and there are new driver added. There is also an optional upgrade for SMP support up to 64 processors and the function as a server, based on OS/2 Warp Server for e-business. NTFS formated drives can now be used with read-only access. The German version of eComStation 1.1 followed in September 2009.
