Start LicenseServer, DiffDog Server
Altova LicenseServer (LicenseServer for short) and DiffDog Server are both started via Altova ServiceController.
Altova ServiceController
Altova ServiceController (ServiceController for short) is an application for conveniently starting, stopping and configuring Altova services on Windows systems. ServiceController is installed with Altova LicenseServer and with Altova server products that are installed as services (DiffDog Server, FlowForce Server, Mobile Together Server, and RaptorXML(+XBRL) Server). ServiceController can be accessed via the system tray (screenshot below).
To specify that ServiceController starts automatically on logging in to the system, click the ServiceController icon in the system tray to display the ServiceController menu (screenshot below), and then toggle on the command Run Altova ServiceController at Startup. (This command is toggled on by default.) To exit ServiceController, click the ServiceController icon in the system tray and, in the menu that appears (see screenshot below), click Exit Altova ServiceController.
Start LicenseServer
To start LicenseServer, click the ServiceController icon in the system tray, hover over Altova LicenseServer in the menu that pops up (see screenshot below), and then select Start Service from the LicenseServer submenu. If LicenseServer is already running, then the Start Service option will be disabled. You can also stop the service via ServiceController.
Start DiffDog Server
To start DiffDog Server, click the ServiceController icon in the system tray, hover over Altova DiffDog Server in the menu that pops up, and then select Start Service from the DiffDog Server submenu. If DiffDog Server is already running, the Start Service option will be disabled. You can also stop the service via ServiceController.
