Starting the Local ETKMS Automatically

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.
