Remove Pixar License Server

Pixar License Server is a software program developed by Pixar. Upon being installed, the software adds a Windows Service which is designed to run continuously in the background. Manually stopping the service has been seen to cause the program to stop functing properly. It adds a background controller service that is set to automatically run. Delaying the start of this service is possible through the service manager. The setup package generally installs about 2 files and is usually about 1.91 MB (2,004,480 bytes). Relative to the overall usage of users who have this installed on their PCs, most are running Windows 7 (SP1) and Windows 10. While about 67% of users of Pixar License Server come from the United States, it is also popular in China and RS.
