Can TqcRunas be used to start a program with admin rights in a remote computer?

If we install TqcRunas on a network share to be used by our client computers and the maximum number of simultaneous access is 10. How many licenses do we need?

TqcRunas licensing is based on the number of different computers where it will ever run, regardless of where TqcRunas files are or the number of simultaneous access.

Thus, if you have 500 users that share 100 computers, TqcRunas is installed on a network share, and the maximum number of simultaneous access is 10, then you will need a license for every computer where TqcRunas will work: 100 licenses.

All of our workstations have a common local admin account with identical passwords. We would like to create ONE tqcrunas package to logon to this account on several workstations. Can this be done ?. How do I specify the local domain without using the local machine name?

Use the environment variable %COMPUTERNAME% as domain, thus ensuring the account will be validated against the local SAM. Also remeber to use the GUI interface of tqcRunas when building .tqc files that contain environment variables.

How do I install TqcRunas?

TqcRunas does not need installation, simply copy the files to the folder of your choice (local or network) and run the executable TqcRunas.exe or TqcRunasCmd.exe.

For example, an administrator copies TqcRunas files to a share and then calls TqcRunas from the logon scripts.

An installation is needed only if you intend to use the TqcRunas ActiveX objects in VBScript or JavaScript files.

Can I use environment variables in TqcRunas parameters?

Yes, you can pass environment variables to TqcRunas. This is useful when you want to create one unique encrypted file that encloses a local administrator account for all your computers:

TqcRunas -profile -d %computername% -user admin -pw password -e myprogram.exe

IMPORTANT! - Always use the GUI interface when building .tqc files, this ensures that environment variables are stored as variables that will be translated at execution time.

I purchased TqcRunas and got the license file, what should I do with this file?

The license file contains encrypted the information required about your company and the number of licenses that you purchased.

In order to make this information available for TqcRunas you must copy the license file in the same directory where you placed TqcRunas files, more exactly the license file must be always in the same file where TqcRunas.dll was placed. Thus the expiration time and the limit on users are removed.

I copied the license file to the same folder where I put TqcRunas files but I still getting the "Evalution time expired" message. What is wrong?

This happens because you tested TqcRunas on your computer and addittional copies of TqcRunas files exist in your computer, remove the extra copies or copy the license file to that folders too in order to solve the problem.
