FlowMonitorService ​

FlowMonitorService is a Windows NT service application. If you need to reinstall or relocate to another machine you will need to register the application with the Windows Services Control Panel

By default FlowMonitorService will execute under the Local System user. You may want to change this to another user account, however this is generally not necessary as this application only requires interaction with local services.

Installing FlowMonitorService
  1. Select Start > Run to open a command prompt

  2. Enter the command "c:\program files\flow software\flowmonitors.exe" -install (note: double quotes are required around the path if there are spaces in the path). Click OK

  3. Click OK to the success message. If errors occur check the Flow Knowledge Base

  4. You can now see the service within the Service Control Panel called FlowMonitorService

Uninstalling FlowMonitorService
  1. Select Start > Run to open a command prompt

  3. Click OK to the success message. If errors occur check the Flow Knowledge Base
