By default, a Model Manager server is installed as a Windows® service that is set to start automatically. In this case, a link to the Model Manager server web interface is installed on the Start menu as Model Manager Server. See Accessing the Web Interface for more information about accessing the web interface and, for example, continuing the setup of a fresh installation.

To manually start or stop the Model Manager server service, use the Start Model Manager Server or Stop Model Manager Server shortcuts installed on the Start menu under COMSOL Launchers. To configure its startup options, use the Manage Local Services shortcut. The same configuration options are also available in the snap-in Services in the Microsoft Management Console. Search for services from the Windows® Control Panel.
