Seems to be a bug.

Hi Crusoe, I cannot seem to repeat this problem running on a Vista 32-bit system over here...

Could you please give me some more information about your Vista system? Like is it 32-bit or 64-bit?

Have you possibly set up some custom restrictions for the login account? If access to the "AppData" folder has been denied for that account (which I think would only be the case if you had set up some customized permissions), then it could produce that kind of a problem with prompting you for the license key again and again.

One way that you can solve it is to create a text file that has your license key in it on the first line of the file, name the file "moi_v1_license.key", and place it in the same folder as moi.exe and then it should be able to find your license key when you start it up.

- Michael

UAC can interfere also.

I'm running Aug 8 beta on Vista 64 not as an administrator with no problems.
