Hint

You can use the Control Center also to register Axon Ivy Engine as Windows Service. Moreover, you can add other existing Windows Services to the list of Engines to start and stop them with the Control Center. For example, if you have installed your database server on the same machine, you can add the Windows Service of the database server. To register Axon Ivy Engine as Windows Service, you need to run the Control Center as Administrator.

After the Axon Ivy Engine has been started it opens a web browser displaying the main page of the Axon Ivy Engine.
