How to lock-down workstations that require local admin rights for main office sql app?

we run an application that requires local administrator rights.  It's a sql based application.  Our server is 2012 Standard.  The software vendor who supports this application is no help with this problem.  How do we lock-down the workstations and still allow this sql-base program to work?

Not only does the program have to run in compatibility mode- "run as administrator, the local user must be admin rights

the workstations are windows 7

Thank you, I'll try and get back with what worked.
I've requested that this question be deleted for the following reason:

Not enough information to confirm an answer.
Since one or the other would solve it, I vote for a split.
Either it can be overcome by adjusting access rights, or it can't, and then powerbroker is the state of the art solution.

I decided to split the points between the two answers; I consider the best answer the non-third-party solution, however there probably are situations where you would have to use a piece of software (  to purchase PowerBroker you have to purchase a minimum of 20 users @$37.00)
thanks to all
