Is there a way to run the Vray Licence Server as a windows service?

[Jynks]

Is there a way to run the licence server as a window server so I do not have to remeber to boot it up everytime I turn on my computer or reboot it?

?

Isnt it installed as a service? I am pretty sure it is, well mine is, if not try this

C:\Program Files\Chaos Group\V-Ray\3dsmax 2008 for x64\startvrlservice.exe" -service

you might want to change it to fit to your settings

VRay installs a shortcut to register and unregister the service (Programs->Chaosgroup->VRay-Licensing->Administration)

Forgive my ignorance. How is running vray as a service helpful? I have no clue...

Running it as a service allows you to run the license server automatically when a machine boots up Windows (even without any users logged in), as opposed to starting in manually otherwise.
