We've broken down the instructions based on your Windows version (32-bit or 64-bit), so you'll know exactly what to do no matter what you're running.

We'll also guide you on how to avoid duplicate PMS instances when logging onto your PC and important reminders when you want to install updates.

Run command prompt as Administrator
Enter the command: nssm install

Remember to consult our video for all the specific details you need. Always be aware of the type of account you're using, since running an application as a service like this means it won't interact with the user's desktop. Updates might require stopping the service and running the application manually.
