      I have a Mac. My wife has decided to play with Skp and LayOut. As like most people, there are things on my Mac that I would rather she not see, so I turned on the Guest account. The problem is the pro version takes forever to tune on and a pop-up says that this license in for one user only. Can I not allow access to it for other users accounts on my own computer???

      She can evaluate the program but then a lot of plug-ins don't work. when I shut down the program, it became unresponsive and I had to "force quit" it.

      Any thoughts??

        I don't know much about Mac user accounts, but even if you give your wife an Administrator account, she won't be able to see your personal files. And I don't think SU wants even that to work, just a normal user account ought to be enough.

          From the guest account, I'm unable to use the same license of Skp. This is my problem. Why??

            I am not too sure about Mac's but if you share the SU folder and all it's sub folders in XP the guest account can access it without any problems.
