NT Service Module 6.x - Please read this entire file carefully

The NT service module is an optional add-on. It requires a separate download and purchase. Please visit our website to download the NT service module.  This module can only be used with version 6.0 or later.  The NT service module launches the Scheduler Engine, if it is shut down. When a user logs out, the scheduler engine will shut down.  The NT service module will restart the engine after logout, and periodically verify that the engine is always running.  This module will also launch the engine on startup, if the Service Startup Type is set to Automatic (default).

Getting Started
1.  Install the NT service using the Service menu, from the module front panel.  The NT Service Module window does not need to be kept open.  You will only use the module, to register the software, change settings, or remove the service.
2.  Go to the Windows Service Control Manager, via the Control Panel.  Set the logon properties for the NT Service, as shown in the Recommended Settings table below.  Start the NT Service.

Notes:
1.  For version 6.x+, the default scheduler engine Port = 1965.  DO NOT change this value, unless you have also changed the engine port value, in the software also.  The port value in the NT service module, should match the port value in the user interface.
2.  The Period is the time interval in minutes, which the NT service module, will check that the engine is running.  The default is 5 minutes.  When a user logs out, the scheduler engine will shut downThe Service will then re-launch the engine within the Period set (default = 5 minutes).
3.  If you change the Port value, or the Period value, from the NT Service module, the Service needs to be restarted, from the Service Control Manager.
