The procedure described below will no longer work for IS7.0 since you
must have encryption keys generated for the ID that you are running
scanner under and these keys are created and placed in the appropriate
directories on the console and sensor at the time of installation.
Other keys can be generated using the utility in the tools directory,
but the other use must logon to use the utility.  Then the keys must be
put in the appropriate RSA directories.

You can also right-click the icon and select "RUNAS" and then login as
administrator to run it. I think I may have had to set the ACLs on some
of the files to make this work, I don't remember. When I start up this
way, I get some warning messages about the security on the database
files not being right. I dismiss the messages and tell the program NOT
to reset the security. I do this from a computer that I use to scan from
infrequently. The main scanner runs under a renamed administrator
account fine. Note that this is on version 6.x. I haven't upgraded to 7
yet until I hear more feedback. :)
