Can I keep TOP Server from running as a Service?
Is there a way to configure the TOP Server to run as a normal Windows application, instead of as a service?
Yes! You can switch between Service and Interactive mode by changing a setting in the TOP Server.
You can access these settings by right-clicking on the Administration Icon in the system tray and clicking Settings. You will then look for the Runtime Process tab, and use the drop down to change between the selected modes.
If your administration icon is not running in the system tray, you can launch it by going to Start ⇒ All Programs ⇒ Software Toolbox ⇒ TOP Server 5 ⇒ TOP Server 5- Administration.
