What is the difference between running LoadRunner Agent as Service or Process?

Hi Friends,

Please find below detailed difference:

LR Agent as Process	LR Agent as Service
LR Agent as process requires you to login to the remote LG\injector box	LR Agent as service does not require you to login to the remote LG\injector box. Just the LG box needs to be up and running.
LR Agent as process behaves as process	LR Agent as service behaves like any other OS service and runs in the background
LR Agent as process can run GUI vusers or GUI like vusers without any issues	LR Agent as service cannot run GUI or GUI like vusers, this is because of the limitation put by OS on the service.
LR Agent as process launches magentproc.exe from \launch_service\bin folder	LR Agent as service launches magentservice.exe from \launch_service\bin folder
