License error when running Studio Community as admin

Hey everyone. I have been searching and I have looked at many of the licensing threads and cannot find a fix for this issue. I need to run Studio as admin in order to be able to access a certain desktop app. When I try and run the process in debug I get the following error:
19.10.0-beta.52+Branch.release-v2019.10.0.Sha.9322a11fccdd5417d1d2ef06f96dc752b28759ff

A local license is required.

I don’t get any issue executing when I open Studio without admin privileges, but I then can’t access the desktop app to make clicks. I am running Studio 2019.10.0-beta.52 Community Edition.

Hi @steve3424

Welcome to our UiPath Forum! :slight_smile:

Have you tried updating to the latest beta 111? It might help here.

If not, it would mean that somehow the administrator of the machine doesn’t have access to the licensing file in your user folder.

Thanks for the response! I was just about to post that I resolved this by uninstalling and installing the stable release.
