Summary
Standalone Load Generator
Question
In the Standalone Load Generator installation, it was requested to select either to install load generator as performance center service or load runner process. Could you please tell me what is the difference and which one should I choose?
Answer
If you install as a process, someone with Admin rights must be logged in for the LG software to run. If someone is not logged in you will not be able to connect from the controller to the LG and will not be able to run any tests on that LG. If you install as a service then the LG can be sitting at the login screen or logged in and the service will be running in the background. The LG can be run both as a process and a service. We recommend customer install the LG as a service.
