User Rights not enough? news.microsoft.com 10-04-2006

Hi all,

I have Windows 2003 Server and need to install an application and make it
accessible to users.

I do install the application successfully and I can also work with the
application (as an admin), but other users with less rights don't manage.

The problem is this:
This application has a security component (called Softlocx) that generates a
license number based on various software and hardware parameters. I get, for
example, an number 12345678 and as the application is licensed, I type in
our code, eg. ABCD. The application is then licensed.

But when a user starts the application, a different number is generated.
When I add the users to the admins group (as a test), this works fine, but I
don't want to do this but rather give the correct rights to the correct
regsitry entries and/or folders.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Ivan

Hi,

You can download the tool called RegMon from www.sysinternals.com.

Once you have it running on your computer - run the application and it will
show you what registries are getting called and if there are any access
denied on these registries...
