Problem:

When I start the server (C:\Faircom\eTkoServer\faircom.exe), it stops after a few seconds.

Cause:

1. The license file has not been copied into the server software folder.
OR
2. The server may already be running.

Solution: 

1. You should have received a license file that has a name like “ctsrvr39001234.lic” from eTakeoff. Copy the license file into the server software folder (C:\Faircom\eTkoServer by default).
OR
2. The server may already be running. Check task manager to see if the Background Process, “FairCom DB SQL Server (32 bit)” is running.
