Universal Copy Service (UCS) and Local Run Manager (LRM) are components of the Control Software which are used to transfer sequencing run data, setup runs, and analyze data. These components run as Windows services which may be configured to Log On As any Windows account. Changing the password of a Windows account running UCS or LRM services will not automatically update the passwords for the services. This article provides instructions for updating the UCS and LRM service passwords following a Windows account password update.
If the password for a Windows account which is running the UCS and LRM services is updated in Windows, but not in the LRM and UCS services, the instrument may fail to operate. Disabled operation prevents new run settings from being entered and data transfer from completing. Control software may fail to initialize, or the following errors may occur.
Cannot initiate communication with Universal Copy Service. Make sure that the service is installed and started.
The following required software is either not installed or not running. Sequence cannot be performed until this problem is fixed. Contact Illumina Technical Support. Universal Copy Service.
To update UCS and LRM service credentials, see the following instructions:
Select the Windows icon in the lower left corner of the screen. In the Windows search field, enter Services as shown in Figure 5. When Services appears in the results, right-click and select Run as administrator.
