Eltima Software's Application as Service enables easy launching of programs as services on Windows, making them appear as native Windows applications.

The Application as Service also allows you to run services in two modes - interactively (visible to users) or silently. Both modes may be launched under user accounts. Furthermore, it enables you to select user sessions (including RDP) in which interactive services should be started. Moreover, it is easy to schedule the launch of a program as a service on a specific date or time. You just have to set scheduler preferences once and the Application as Service will do the rest according to the specified parameters.
Creating a service in Application as Service can be accomplished using various methods, including GUI, command line, or XML configuration file. This makes the utility flexible and efficient. Another important feature of Application as Service is that your program can restart automatically after a crash or power cut. This enhances the uptime of your program, making it more reliable.
Application as Service has an intuitive and user-friendly interface that makes it easy to use for beginners. You do not have to be a coding expert to launch any program as service using Application as Service. It is an excellent utility that can perform the task quickly and efficiently. With Application as Service, launching any program as service is as easy as pie!
