Predator PDM Tips

  • Why does the license registration dialog appear when the app starts?

    Posted by Jim Abbassian September 8th 2020

    License registration details are stored within the Windows Registry in HKLM. Often customers with tight IT security policies will maintain or refresh Windows images or profiles to defaults that do not contain Predator's license registration details. This will trigger Predator PDM to prompt for the missing license registration details during startup. Updating the Windows Image or profile to include the Predator License Registration details will fix this issue. A similar situation occurs when expired licenses are found within HKCU. Simply delete all HKCU based licenses using the Predator License Utility.

  • After license registration does the app have to run as an Administrator?

    Posted by Jim Abbassian December 1st 2020

    No. Windows Administrator credentials are only required for installation and license registration. After that, Predator PDM can be run with standard Windows user credentials.
