Use this procedure to enable and start or stop the use of Interpret or Transfer as Windows services as one of the steps to automate Interpret and Transfer.
Note that to use INVOICES services, in addition to the procedure below, Interpret and Transfer instances need to be created and enabled for use as services, and service jobs must be configured and enabled for each instance.
Two Windows services are created for INVOICES when it is installed:
By default, the Local System account is used for Interpret and Transfer services. However, this account does not have the necessary privileges to connect to the other computers in your INVOICES installation (such as the one where your scanned images are stored).
Before INVOICES services can be enabled, they must be configured with an administrator account that has domain administrative privileges on all of the computers in the system where services are configured and run.

GlobalPath=\\Sth-test\Program Files\ReadSoft\INVOICES
With some of the newer operating systems, the computer's IP address cannot be used. In these cases, only the host name is usable.
The same domain administrative account needs to be configured for , in the same way as is described above for INVOICES PM service, on each computer where Interpret or Transfer instances are to be used as services.
To start or stop INVOICES services, in Manager, click > > or .
It is not enough to start the service to be able to use Interpret and Transfer as services. Instances of Interpret and Transfer need to be configured and enabled for use as services, and service jobs need to be configured and enabled for each instance.
