When you launch a local ETKMS, the ETKMS software runs as a separate application in a command line 
window on the management workstation. If the management workstation running the local ETKMS 
restarts, you must relaunch the local ETKMS. 

To launch a local ETKMS:
1 In the Appliance Manager, select the local ETKMS.
2 Click Tools > Launch ETKMS LM.

The ETKMS software starts and opens a command line window.

To stop a local ETKMS:
1 Switch to the command line window in which the local ETKMS is running.
2 Press CTRL + C.
3 Type Y.

EncrypTight ships with a batch file that you can configure to start the local ETKMS automatically when 
a user logs in the management PC. This eliminates the need to launch EncrypTight to start the local 
ETKMS. 

The batch file, named 

start.bat

, is included on the EncrypTight software CD. The batch file starts the 

local ETKMS when you log in to the management PC and stops it when you log out or the PC is 
powered off.
