A. Make sure the PTPublisher Service is running on the server computer. To check if the service is running search for services.msc in the Windows search box. Open it. PTPublisher Service should be "started".
B. Make sure the Windows Event Log or Event Log service is running. PTPublisher depends on this service for activation of the software only. To check if the service is running search for services.msc in the Windows search box. Open it. Windows Event Log or Event Log should be "started".
