I am currently evaluating the software for use with Max and Aftereffects -

When installed, I would want the slave software to run without someone having to be logged into the machine - can it run as a service that I could start and stop as computers become available (when someone logs off their PC at the end of the day, for instance?)

Hi Matt,



Currently, the Slave cannot be run as a service. We are planning to add

this feature in the future, although we don’t have a timeline yet.



However, if you wish for your machines to login automatically when they

start up so that the slave is started as well, you can follow the

directions at the bottom of the page here:

I know that this isn’t quite what you were looking for, but it still

comes in handy if you are not using it already.



Kind regards,

• Ryan
