6.4.1 and earlier License Activation does not work with Windows 7

________________________________________________________________________

Applicable Environment

________________________________________________________________________

Topic: License Activation
SDP: 6.4.0, 6.4.1
Host: Windows 7

________________________________________________________________________

Solution

________________________________________________________________________

The Windows 7 security model is stricter than previous versions, so it prevents the activation utility from writing to the license file.

However changing the permissions of the IDE configuration utility and the IDE so that they 'RunAs Administrator' under the binary properties they are able to carry on as expected.
