eLicense software. If this program bugs you, here's what you can do to disable it: First go to your Services (Start Run services.msc) and look for "LicCtrl Service." Double click on it, Stop it and change it from Automatic to Disable. Done. If certain programs won't run all of a sudden, you may want to enable it to Manual instead. Good Luck!

gehört zu eLicens, was Lizenzen für manche Software erteilt; insbesondere Demos, wenn sie die programme nicht mehr benutzen enfernen sie eLicens ....

Licensing component. I've tried and uninstalled Winspace program that came with eLicense. runservice still eats up resources. Bad job.

Not dangerous

Loads if ELIC is installed in your Control Panel - some program comes with a 30 day trial, and a way to license them, this sometimes will install ELIC in your Control Panel - you can remove it.
