# Start Answer Server

NOTE:

Your License Server must be running before you start Answer Server.

To start Answer Server

- Start Answer Server from the command line using the following command:

      ServerName.exe -configfile configname.cfg

  where `ServerName` is the name of the server executable file, and the optional `-configfile` argument specifies the path of a configuration file that you want to use.

- On Windows, if you have installed Answer Server as a service, start the service from the Windows Services dialog box.

- On UNIX, if you have installed Answer Server as a service, use one of the following commands:

  - On machines that use systemd:

    `systemctl start ServerName`

  - On machines that use system V:

    `service ServerName start`

TIP:

On both Windows and UNIX platforms, you can configure services to start automatically when you start the machine.
