Well, since you're using eLicense instead of eSellerate, you must be using a PC machine instead of a Mac. Does your PC run on Vista? If it does, you need to run the game for the first time, and the first time after every time you patch it, as the Admin.

Since I'm a Mac user, I can't tell you how to do that, but Vista must've come with instructions that would tell you. Failing that, someone who does understand Vista should be along to help you out.

And if you AREN'T running Vista, then I have no idea. Sorry.

Yep. Once you install the game, the first run has to be under the admin account. Sorry I missed this thread before you figured that out.
