Really weird!
I see you've found that the answer is that admin rights are needed to register. You should file a bug report with MakeMusic, as this is improper design, and has been since the mid-90s. If installation requires admin rights, then the registration should be part of the installation process. Alternatively, the error you get when you try to run the first time as a non-admin user should offer you the option to register as an administrative user (the RunAs service is turned on by default in Win2K and WinXP, so there's no reason for the registration process not to use it). -- David W.
