Hello,

The activation of capture one4 needs admin rights. Also it seems that it only runs under administrator rights. IMO this is a big drawback, usually i don't work under admin rights because of internet security. Is there a workaround for this problem?
Thanks
Heinz

  Hello Heinz,
  
  Yes, CO4/Win needs admin rights to run (after it has been activated). Yes, I agree with you that this is a major security risk and therefore a big drawback. I reported this in a support case and it is reported to R&D, but whether this be solved remains to be seen.
  
  What worries me is not only the fact that Phase One has not taken care of this in a proper manner, but also the very few reports here on the forum. This tells me that most users probably run their systems as admin (a most scaring thought in itself) and this is also not an encouragement for PO to solve this.

  C1 4 runs fine here, and I am not running with Admin rights.
  But that might be because I am running Windows Vista, and Microsoft made a workaround in Vista where writes to the application's folder (where normal users are not allowed to write) are redirected to the user space.
  
  I checked what files are written to the app folder, and the only file I could find was some log file: ImgCoreProcessExternal.log
  (Damn it, the forum is censoring the file name... Img Core Process External.log, without the spaces in between.)
  
  Maybe you can try to check if the file is in your C1 install folder and give it write permission for you user (if it is not there, just create an empty text file).
  
  This might be a workaround, but in the end this file shouldn't be written by Phase One there in the first place.
