Admin Account

[Dave_M]

Hi,

I have FS2004 installed and decided to create a seperate user account set up for Flight Sim. However I cannot register FSUIPC in this account I am given a message to log on as Admin, the user acoount I set up is an Admin Account.

Is it possible to have FSUIPC registered over Different user accounts on the same PC.

Thanks,

David

It only needs registering once per PC (and operating system, if you multi-boot), and it can then be used from any account -- but it has to be registered by the Administrator. It is the same sort of thing as FS installation. You can only install FS2004 as Administrator, but you can allow any user to use it thereafter. Many programs are like that. It is because of access restrictions imposed by Windows on non-administrators.

Thanks for the quick reply.

I have already registered FSUIPC on my Administrator account, but when I log on to my FS2004 Account (also a member of the Admin group) FSUIPC is no longer registered and I cannot access all the Settings and I cannot enter my reg details.

FSUIPC only needs the FSUIPC.KEY file in the FS modules folder, and some entries in the Registry NOT associated with you as a user. Have you got separate FS2004 installations? If so, please simply copy the FSUIPC.KEY file across so that it exists in both Modules folders.

Otherwise the only way I know that could happen is if you have separate Registries for each user, and I don't know how to accomplish that. On my system every user has entries in the same registry.

What's an "Admin group"? I have multiple users on my system, but I have not set up any "groups". Maybe it is something to do with that?
