If TinyTERM Plus 4.60 or higher is installed on a Windows terminal server, every user has to license it to run it. This is due to the nature of licensing in TinyTERM 4.6, which uses a license certificate file license.crt, rather than a registry entry as in prior versions of TinyTERM.

When this happens, the license.crt file was written to the administrator’s My Documents folder. This is one of two locations where the file can be written, and is normal for domain systems.

As a local PC administrator, copy license.crt to C:\Program Files\Century\TinyTERM. Make sure all users have read access to the file. (On some systems, it’s also necessary to give all users write access.) That should resolve the issue.
