14.2 Running the SES-imagotag Core Service as a background service
The SES-imagotag Core Service may be started as a normal application, but on a productive system
it is usually required to have it automatically started without a user logged in. To achieve this the SES-
imagotag Core Service can be registered as a Windows service. It is than started automatically
without any graphics user interface.
To install the SES-imagotag Core Service as a Windows service the batch file install_service.bat is
provided. If this file is executed with administrator privileges (Right click – Run as Administrator) it will
install the SES-imagotag Core Service installation from the same directory as a Windows service with
the name ESL_SERVICE.
The file uninstall_service.bat will remove the Windows service if executed with administrator
privileges.
If you have any problems regarding the background service:
l Check if you have installed the correct JAVAversion corresponding to your system (x86/x64)
l If the SES-imagotag Core Service is already installed as a Windows service you have to unin-
stall it first (uninstall_service.bat) and reinstall it again (install_service.bat).
14.3 Where can get a demo/development license key?
Ask the support.at@ses-imagotag.com or sales.at@ses-imagotag.com team for a
demo/development license.
14.4 Deleting the demo articles
In order to prevent the example articles from being re-added to the server, go to "System -
Configuration"and set the "importFixtures"variable to false. Note: Please do not use the "Smart Box
Package" for productive installation.
