1 In the Appliance Manager, select the local ETKMS.
2Click Tools > Launch ETKMS LM.
The ETKMS software starts and opens a command line window.

Starting the Local ETKMS Automatically
EncrypTight ships with a batch file that you can configure to start the local ETKMS automatically when
a user logs in the management PC. This eliminates the need to launch EncrypTight to start the local
ETKMS.
The batch file, named
start.bat, is included on the EncrypTight software CD. The batch file starts the
local ETKMS when you log in to the management PC and stops it when you log out or the PC is
powered off.
