Mark, absolutely brilliant! You did, in less than 30 seconds, what MS Money
"tech support" couldn't do in three hours. This is the solution, at least it
worked for me. I'm going to call tech support back and let them know...for
what it's worth. Thanks so much!

Cal,
Right clicking and running as Administrator will bring up Money without the
pop-up requesting I activate/register it. This seems so lame! As others have
written, it worked fine for the trial (read that demo) copy. Which reminds me
of an old joke about trial/demo software... punch line is what I'm
experiencing. Guess it was only a "trial/demo" no sense believing it would
work the same for real product.

I am having the same problem. If I open Money Plus under the administrator
account (or with Run as Administrator) it works fine, but if I open it in a
standard
account it says the program has not been activated. It worked find in the
standard account during the entire trial period before I purchased and tried
to activate it.

I just spent three hours (literally) talking to tech support. After two and
a half hours of trying to get it to work the guy finally told me "oh, it's
not supposed to be run in a standard account, it's only designed to run in an
administrator account." Because that made no sense on so many levels (not the
least of which was the fact that he had just spent two and a half hours
trying to get it to work in a standard account without every mentioning that
it wasn't meant to be used that way) I asked to speak to a supervisor. The
"supervisor" just said the same thing as the tech, but neither sounded like
they knew what they were talking about so I came here to check it out.

From what I've read, and someone please correct me if I'm wrong, most people
are able to use Money Plus in a standard account on Windows Vista, while some
of us are not. Has anyone who had this problem figured out how to resolve it
so that they don't have to use an administrator password to run the program?

Try right-clicking the launch icon while running as the non-admin
user, and choose RunAsAdministrator once. See if that cures it for a
while.

I have installed MS Money Plus Deluxe on Vista OS. Have registered when
logged in as an admin, but it keeps asking me to register when ever I start
it as a user. The registration always fails. Now error message indicates
there are no available licenses.

How can I run Money as a non-admin?
