The Software Administrator installs with the Enterprise Server and Enterprise Central installation package. You use the Software Administrator to start and stop the server service and configure the ports of the Enterprise Server and Enterprise Central.

Other server settings, for example e-mail service, time, and time zone settings are configured through WorkStation.

Service

The Enterprise Server and Enterprise Central run in the background as Windows services. You start and stop the server services through the Software Administrator or Windows Service. Before shutting down a server, make sure the stop does not negatively affect your site.
