Description: The Automation Service needs to run in desktop mode in circumstances like when a customer is set up on the cloud, but has datalinks set up on a regular desktop PC. The Automation Service needs to be running, as that's the only way those datalinks will run. 


It also has to be running with customers running Sage software (Timberline).


Software Version:  Eclipse 15.x
