                      | Hello, 
 We are in the process of considering removing local administrator access from all of our users.
 When we remove such an acces from someone that was using a correctly registered Visual Assist, the user now gets the an error dialog with this message "Please run this program from the Administrator account so it can set up your license. Once the license is set up, you can run it from any account."
 
 Visual Assist seams to indicate that it can indeed run from any account, but it is not working!
 (The user is now only a simple "Domain User", without any Admin access)
 I'm thinking that I need to give acces to a certain folder or registry key so that visual assist can work again for a user without admin access?
 Can anyone help me with that problem?
 Has anyone managed to run Visual Assist without administrator access?

                      | I forgot to mention that I'm using the latest version of Visual Assist X on Dev Studio .NET 2003. I reinstalled the latest version of visual assist x, but the problem is still there.

                      | Ok, I managed to solved the problem on my own. 
 It was a security access problem with HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\Software\\Licenses
 
 
 Visual Assist rules!

 We are going through the same process and are having the same problem.  May I ask how exactly you solved this issue?
 
 Thanks,

                      | neaira, I'm guessing he ran regedt32, went to the key he mentioned above, clicked the "Security" menu and selected permissions.  From there you can change the security settings for that key. |
