You can start or stop any component installed on your Windows 
server as a service, from the 

 window on the server’s Con-

trol Panel. The add-on services include:

• SM Client Billing
• SM Macintosh Services
• NTS Services: the SM NTS Data Server and the SM NTS Controller 

After you run the automated install program, these services are set 
up to start automatically. Use the System Manager to configure PAS 
services.

When you install Software Metrics (SM) print monitors on a Win-
dows server and configure printers to use those monitors, that sys-
tem is referred to as a PAS ‘print server’. The basic licenses for SE 
and EE enable you to install core PAS services and the print moni-
tors on a single system. Therefore, your accounting server can also 
function as a PAS print server.

EE also enables you to install print monitors on a remote system. 
Your EE license includes one printer server license, which you can 
use on a local or remote print server. Additional print servers 
require additional licenses. 

Before you install PAS add-ons, install and test your Printer 
Accounting Server configuration as described in Chapter 2.

After you configure your accounting server/print server as 
described in Chapter 2, run the installation program to install any 
add-on components that you did not install in Chapter 2.

You should install the following components only on the account-
ing server:

• Client Billing
• Macintosh Services
• NTS Services
• Desktop Printing support

During installation, the role that you choose for the computer dic-
tates which the software components are pre-selected. For exam-
ple, if you select the remote print server role, the install process 
pre-selects the SM print monitors. To make your own component 
selections, select the ‘Custom’ role.
