Hello John,

Just to double check - is the AutoMate service running?

If not, please restart the AutoMate service, and try starting the software again. If it gives you the same error, please review your windows event log and open a support ticket so we may begin the troubleshooting process.

Hi Alex,<br> <br> Thanks for your reply.&nbsp; That's fixed the issue.<br> <br> cheers,<br> John
