Window7/64 bit problem

i will try it...thanks...will let you know!

I guess the installer is not putting the registry entries in the correct path. Please verify on a working system first
1) How does this license manager start - is it a service?
2) What are the corresponding registry entries (if any) like?

Now compare those findings to a 64 bit system. 32 Bit Software registry entries could be found at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node on those systems - maybe that's the point, the installer has put it to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ although this is no 64 bit software.

It seems to work when I right click and run as administrator.  Now what can I do to make it run without having to start it each time with a right click.  What needs to be changed...where to I look?  Thanks

A local group policy change can make it so that executables, when run as administrator, are automatically elevated without prompt, or the need to right-click.

From the search dialog on the 'Start Menu', type 'gpedit.msc'.  This will open the local GPO.

Go to the following setting; Computer Configuration\Windows Settings\Security Settings\Local Policies\Security Options\User Account Control: Behavior of the elevation prompt for administrators in Admin Approval Mode.
Change the setting to 'Elevate without prompting'.
Close gpedit.msc

I recommend not to alter the UAC settings but to use a scheduled task that will start your app elevated. See http://www.experts-exchange.com/OS/Microsoft_Operating_Systems/Windows/Windows_Vista/Q_24161155.html for a way out.

The suggested setting does not disable UAC, but just not prompt an administrative account for executing tasks in that matter.

No, of course it's not turning UAC off. But please explain why Microsoft does not recommend this setting from a security perspective.

To tell you a little more, read http://www.experts-exchange.com/OS/Microsoft_Operating_Systems/Q_24053696.html#23390082

I would argue the validity of the UAC prompt, without a default password prompt, but that is for another forum.  UAC is designed to run all processes in a low-privilege state.  The prompt would let administrative users know something needs to run as such, and for non-admins, request administrative credentials.  This system, though not perfect is much better than it was in XP.  The BEST way to approach user rights and security is to have ALL users run as non-admins and elevate when necessary, i.e. sudo or wheel.

My suggestion does not disable UAC, just the silly prompt, letting the user know they are, in fact, doing what they set out to do.  For non-admins, I set the prompt to deny elevation and therefore, access to the elevating process.

He can do it without doing anything to UAC and as you can see, it does not hurt to use scheduled tasks.
With UAC, security is argueably better than on xp. With auto approval, it is nearly equal to xp for reasons I wrote down on the linked thread.
Another example: take Windows 7. If you put the famous UAC security slider to the top (top secure) position and then afterwards use the setting you recommend, where does Microsoft automatically put the slider? To the very bottom.
The point you might be missing is that
> the silly prompt, letting the user know they are, in fact, doing what they set out to do
is only partwise correct. The autoelevate setting you recommend will not protect administrative users from *any* action that uses highest priviledges - no matter where it originates. The comment on the slider position that windows chooses to illustrate the remaining UAC protection reads:
Never notify me when
-I make changes to windows settings (*so far, so good*)
-programs try to install software or make changes to my computer (*is that really what you would like to recommend?*)

But let's settle it, I wouldn't like to go offtopic again any further on this UAC tweaking.

Thank you are making great progress as a result of your efforts.  We appreciate your effort in this project.  Thanks again!
