Why is it not possible to activate Task Capture license?

Issue Description:

Sometimes users may encounter an error during the activation of the Task Capture license. This error typically occurs due to insufficient permissions for completing the activation process.


Resolution:

Task Capture provides two installer file types for installation on your machine:

  1. TaskCapture.exe: This installer type is used to install Task Capture per user. It does not require Admin Rights for the installation process. However, it does necessitate user access to the AppData folder.

  2. TaskCapture.msi: This installer file is deployed to install Task Capture per machine. Unlike the EXE version, it requires Admin Rights. Access is also mandatory over both AppData and ProgramData folders during the installation.

For more detailed instructions, refer to the Task Capture Installation Document.

To resolve this activation error, the following are required:

  1. A valid Task Capture license.
  2. Adequate permissions to carry out the activation.

If granting elevated rights isn't feasible, use the Task Capture EXE file for installation. This version doesn't require additional supervisory rights, considerably simplifying the installation process.
