Runnin an App as a Service

Here is the situation -

I have a Windows machine and an application. I want to run the application as an instance so I can login and logoff the machine and the application is still running/executing in the background.

The application is utilizing an IP Socket for communication from other machines...

Does anyone know of a "wrapper" or sometype of software which allows me to do this?

What's the app and who makes it? Do they provide an install option so it'll run under services?

The name of the app is STK (Satellite Tool Kit) - it takes ephemiris data and displays the tracks on a world map.

The individual program is in the thousands - the server is WAY to bulky for the task at hand and costs tens of thousands...

The STK desktop (individual) runs great, but in order to display tracks and pull via a TCP socket it must be running as a user, then lock the workstation. If we could get the desktop app to run as a service it would free up a workstation.
