Hello,

I'm developing an educational software application intended for use on school networks.
I don't know much about network admin although I understand many schools use group policies to
manage the workstations.

Each copy of my software has a different serial number which is stored in the HKLM\Software\MyApp\..
registry tree, there are also some user settings which are stored in the HKCU\Software\MyApp\..

What does the network administrator need to do in order to install my software and allow it to read
and write those two registry keys when not logged in with admin rights?

Should I be saving these keys elsewhere?

Any help is appreciated

Hello Kimb,

You can delegate permissions to HCLM keys by using GPO. Computer
Configuration | Windows Settings | Security Settings | Registry.
Under HKCU hive you don't need to delegate, each user have write permission.
You can use a custom administrative template if you have the need to
configure some setting on your app that is equal to everybody.

Regards,
