vmware-ufad service

Can anyone tell me the reason that the "Vmware Virtual Machine Importer 2 Service" (vmware-ufad.exe) is set to Automatic start? Is there really any reason for this to run before I launch the Importer application?

VM Importer 2 requires that this service be running before and during an import. You can set this service to start manually but ensure that its running before attempting an import

OK, thanks for the information. I had changed the Service to manual before posting the question, just wasn't sure if it would need to be started before the importer or if the importer would start it up.
