So, if you do su the working directory remains the same.  If you are in the
working directory without su, Rev starts.  If you are in the same working
directory after having done su, it asks you to register.

Don't get it.  The difference of course is that when it works, its
identifying the user:

     pe...@xxxx:/opt/runrev/livecode-4.5$ ./livecode.x86

as opposed to in the other case, where the prompt is just

     xxxx:/opt/runrev/livecode-4.5# ./livecode.x86

So the difference is, it is looking for the registration in a particular
user home folder?  But in that case, why install in /opt?  And why restrict
the use to one account on a multi account system?  Makes no sense, no-one
else does it, do they?
