Register for multiple users

Hi

I downloaded and installed VC++ EE to my XP Pro SP2 PC. I did this whilst logged on with Admin rights. I registered and saved the key that I received in a .txt file.

I use the PC on a day-to-day basis whilst logged on with Limited rights and, when I tried to use VC++, it said that I needed to register. I used the same key that I'd used when I registered with Admin rights but it was rejected. I was under the impression that I could register the software several times, if necessary.

How do I go about registering the software for use as a Limited user Do I have to get a further key from MS If I do and register with Limited rights, will that deactivate the earlier registration that I did for the Admin user

Thank you.

I've burned the .iso already, just in case I have to reinstall. I'm aware that I won't have to register the software if it's installed from a CD. As a matter of interest, why should MS require registration if it's installed directly but not if from a CD

Thank you. I've managed to register it as required.

Remember that if you use the CD Installer or ISO Image you do not have to register the products at all.

You can't register Visual Studio Express Edition for multiple users, everyone will use it must register it, for more please visit Visual Studio Express Editons Registration FAQ :

6.The same registration key does not work for a different user account. Why
Registration keys are specific to the user who registered the software, and are only valid for that user account. Each user who will work with an Express Edition installed on a computer must click the product registration link and obtain a unique registration key.
