Hi all I just downloaded the free demo of realflight G5 and have gone to open the demo for the first time and an error popped up:
Please run this program from the Administrator account so it can set up your license. Once the license is set up, you can run it from any account.
I have been searching for a couple of hours on how to fix the issue with no luck as of yet.
I am running windows home vista
does anybody have any ideas I could try to fix my issue?

Try a right click on the setup file, (I assume that you saved the download) and select "Run as Administrator" from the drop down menu. It may not say exactely that, I am translating from my Portugese Vista 64 bit OS.

That should solve the problem.

No sweat there Crash Dummy, that's what we're here for, to share what we know and keep the hobby rolling. I reckon it's great that we are all scattered around the world but all pulling together and helping each other.

Long may it continue!
