About the IIS Express Web Server
The IIS Express web server is a compact version of Microsoft IIS. It's available for free from Microsoft and Logi Analytics has chosen to distribute it with Logi Info.
IIS Express is a light-weight web server that's ideal for development purposes. It runs as a Windows application (not a service) and is compatible with most modern flavors of Windows, including all editions of Windows 7, Server 2003 SP2, Server 2008, Server 2008 R2, Server 2012, and Server 2016. It requires .NET 4.x and does not require Administrator privileges to perform most tasks.
IIS Express is an ideal solution for developers or evaluators who do not want to, or cannot, install IIS on their development or evaluation computers. However, IIS Express is not suitable as a production web server as it has some performance and security limitations.
Complete information about IIS Express is available from Microsoft.
