‘AWDMS Service (BioPlatform Service) started and then stopped’ Error
Introduction
AWDMS is a middleware for Smart AC1 and Face ID5 device series to connect to Ingress Software. If the AWDMS is not able to run or load, the first step is to check the AWDMS services (BioPlatform Service). All these software services must be running before the AWDMS can load. If these services are not running, click start service or restart service for these BioPlatform Services if the services are already running. In certain cases, these services are not able to be running due to MySQL services that are not able to run.
