Re : Error when starting the hasplms service with parameters 1168 1058 1.

hi Kevin,
indeed the presence of the AV can cause different errors, the one you mention with code 5 at the end is:

ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED

5 (0x5)  Access is denied.

(page https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms681381%28VS.85%29.aspx
lists all Windows error codes)

As you did, tweaking AV settings or temporarily disable it might help.
Thanks
