Hi femotinga,

If the service did get removed from your machine, you can run this command to add the service back:

sc.exe create "K2 Server" binPath= "C:Program Files (x86)K2Host ServerBinK2HostServer.exe /S"

You have to replace the binPath with the path to your K2HostServer.exe. Make sure the /S parameter is included in binPath.

After running the command, go to your Services Window, refresh the list, look for your "K2 Server" service, and edit the Startup Type, and set the service account used to run the service.
 

Hope this helps

Hello there, have you try to run a repair?

You might also want to check the k2 license and make sure it’s a license that allows you to run as a service instead of console only.
