1.8

Activation Tool
To run the Software Activation Tool, administrator rights are required because this tool needs to
write the license file in one of the protected folders of Windows. The tool will however allow to
restart it with respective credentials if required.
MySQL
MySQL database service is installed by the install user (thus again the requirement of
installing, starting, running and modifying services). Once running it will just work.
Merge and Weaver Engines
These components do run under the Designer (if only Designer is installed) or the Server /
Extension service(s) and inherit the rights of their parent application.
Server (Extension) Configuration Tool
This component needs to access the settings of the Server. As these are stored and read by the
Server, it should be clear that the user used to run the Configuration tool should be the same as
the Server Service user as explained above.
