Run RLM as a service
- Open CLI as Admin
- Navigate to Program Files\RLM_Server_Win folder
cd C:\Program Files\RLM_Server_Win - Run the following command

At this point, RLM service would’ve been created but it’s still stopped.
To start the service: Open Task Manager >> Services tab >> Look for RLM and start it

Now that it’s running, check by launching Eggplant Functional
It shouldn’t ask for a license anymore
