IQANrun 7 installation
I tried to install IQANrun with an administrator account, and i registered the license. But the license is not shared with the other local user accounts on the same PC. We have many users who share the same PC. How do I install the license without having to activate the license in each user account ? Thank for your help.

With IQANrun 7, the installer can work without admin privileges so that the users should be able to install themselves.
I'm not sure installation for all users can work with this approach. Will check.

Sorry, I would like to clarify that I installed IqanRun version v6.08.27.6730, not the v7.
On the other hand, it is specified in the manual of the v6.08, at page 12, that "All IQAN software tools takes advantage of Windows possibilities of having multiple users on the same machine. This means that each user can have its own settings, etc. The license on the other hand is valid for all users on the same PC. Only one user needs to install the program and all other users on that PC will share the same license number. Administrator privileges are required during installation."
Hello,
It did work like that but after some investigation it looks like this has changed in IQANrun 6.08.24. Previously the license was always stored in LOCAL_MACHINE in the registry (ie for all users). But in 6.08.24 the license has instead been stored under CURRENT_USER. The change was made so that IQANdesign users could update their subscription licenses, but has thus also affected the IQANrun installation.
A workaround could be for the user to enter the license the first time IQANrun is started. In the evaluation dialog, there is an option to enter a license number.
Another workaround would be to install IQANrun 6.07 first and then 6.08.
Then the license would be installed for all users with 6.07.
From IQANrun 7 everything is installed only for the user running the installation. On the other hand, you no longer need to be an admin, so anyone can run the installation.
