Administrative rights – restrictions
What features are not available, if you do not run Captivate in Administrator Mode?
Thanks Lieve. I appreciate your response.
I am sure the Adobe developers have a list of the functions that will not work. But, I cannot find the answer anywhere online. Software simulations is definitely a major one.
I can no longer access the Admin mode and this is the first version (v2019 -.5) that I have not used Admin mode, so I want to avoid any surprises during my development process.
May be wrong, but it looks to me that it has become more critical to run Captivate with ‘Run as Admiinistrator’ feature (doesn’t mean full admin rights), and it is worthwhile to insist to have that available to you. Some files are in the installation folder, and are only accessible to those with that setup: the excel template for CSV import, the CleanPreferences files are two examples.
There is no official list, can only speak from my personal experience. If you need to capture Video Demo or Software simulations, you need to use the feature Run as Administrator. That has always been the case in all versions. But I also had issues when running without when trying to save customisation like themes, workspaces. It is not consistent.
