Running "liveGate"/"liveGate for Intranets" as a Windows Service

The regular versions of liveGate and "liveGate for Intranets" run as standalone applications. As an alternative, Windows administrators can download special versions that run as a Windows Service. (This will allow "liveGate" (or "liveGate for Intranets") to be run automatically on machine startup, and on Windows machines without a console or GUI.)

Note: To run the 'Service' version of these applications, you must have a license.

To install the 'Service' version of an application, run it with the "-install" option. This will install the service in manual mode; you must then use the Windows "service control applet" to start it up (and/or set it to run automatically upon machine startup).

To remove the service, run it again, this time with the "-remove" option.

You can also run the 'Service' version of the application as a console application - e.g., for debugging purposes - by running it with the "-debug" option. (This is equivalent to running the regular (non-Service) version of the application.)
