New plugins require admin rights

Hi,

I am not sure whether this is already a known issue but I didnt find it mentioned. I just installed version 2.5 and noticed that the Eroiica and WinSCP plugins are only available if the application was started as Administrator.

On another issue, WinSCP reports to run in Evaluation mode although there is a valid license. Does this mean a separate license has to be purchased respectively how does it affect its functionality?

Thanks.

Hi, thank you for the information.

Eroiica and WinSCP: are you using Windows Vista? (32 or 64 bit)?

WinSCP evaluation: for this plugin will be availabe separate license during next month.

Thanks, but what happens in the meantime? Will it stop working in June?

For two months it will work with no warnings.
Then it will display "unregistered" prompt, but will work anyway.

Did you install Salamander "as administrator"?
(I'm unable to reproduce your problem.)

Could you add the Eroiica/WinSCP plugin using menu command Plugins > Plugins Manager?

Yes I did, I installed it from a "User" account via "Run as" as administrator. I wouldnt suppose however that this would really make a difference.

However I just tried it on another machine and couldnt reproduce it there myself either.

No, I didnt try that yet.

Thanks for the info about WinSCP. What does this exactly mean?

Price will be 24 USD (12 USD when shipped with Altap Salamander).

Does it mean if sold with a 2.5 license one only has to pay USD 12, if purchased additionally to a 2.0 license it will cost USD 24 however?

We plan to offer it for 12 USD to existing users. Please wait one month, all information will be available.

Btw, this messy thread is a good example why we have Forum Rules with paragraph 2: "Post one bug report, feature request, or suggestion per report. This makes it easier to follow-up on later and keep the thread focused on solving one particular issue."
