If we are talking AX4 - yes, of course (it's just a service and can be started/stopped with net start / net stop). AX3.... you could set the property for "startup" to "on demand" -- then the instance will be started upon request of an AX client. In addition you could configure the instance to shut down when it is not needed anymore (e.g. because the client has been shut down). Another way could be to set the AOS instance to be started automatically with AXCtrl and start this one using a scheduled task (Windows). However, there is not "autostop" for AxCtrl... hth Tobias
