Hi,

I've just had to set up some new PCs for developers (Nimbus Partners Ltd license - I use BC personally and at work) and installed BC under an administrator account. Once the domain accounts were available for the developers I found that logging in as them shows that BC is unregistered. The reason is that the license key is put in HKCU instead of HKCM. Can this be changed as most software puts its license key in a system wide location. If Terminal Services/Citrix is the issue then you could always detect that and use a user specific area in that case.

You can copy your key into a file named bc2.key in the installation directory and BC will read it from there instead of the registry.

For those network administrators: You can also put bc2.key in the same directory as the install program (eg, on a network drive), and it will register BC automatically when it's installed.
