“Convert” is probably a misnomer. FireDaemon Pro provides an intelligent interface or “wrapper” between the commands issued by the Service Control Manager (SCM) and your application. It does not modify your application in any way. FireDaemon Pro monitors your application for you plus provides a variety of additional features that allow you to fine tune how your application starts, what to do if and when it stops and how to interact with the rest of the system and environment.

You should always remember that if you are attempting to run your application as a service with FireDaemon Pro then it was probably never designed to run in this context. Consequently, the behavior of your application when run as a service may not be identical to when it is run by hand. For example, your application might not appear on the desktop or system tray; it might terminate when you logoff; it might not have sufficient access to some system resources, files in the file system or on the network. Most of these issues can be overcome by experimentation and fine tuning. However, some applications may just not work as expected at all.
