My reason for not to use Admin License is, that I store Rheingold standalone in volume D.

Question: Or can I use Admin License for installing ISTA-D directly in volume D? And how it works?

I am little confused by your question but I will try my best to help you.

... As far as volume D goes, to be honest ive never ran it from a different volume if that is what you are asking, so I am not sure how it will run there being that you will need to configure some things to point to volume D as well as maybe making some registry changes but I am not 100% sure on that, maybe a more knowledgeable member can chime in on this... I would assume you just run all the installations from volume D so everything installs there or atleast make sure the directories are set to D, just like you would do in C, but I could be wrong.

Question: When you say you "store" Rheingold standalone in volume D, do you mean you have the file just saved there without it being installed? or do you mean you have everything installed in volume d and run Rheingold from there?

Thank you for your answer.

The reason, that I have Rheingold on volume D, is that I have little space on C, my laptop is running very well with some sensitive programs and I use Acronis for an image only of volume C. Therefore Rheingold since version v.39.xx is in volume D. Also on D, I simply stored the newer standalone versions with only copy+paste. That always works very well (without any License or Register problem), even actually the extracted and fixed v.3.49.20.
Since the first install in D, I never made an install procedure, only copy/paste the Rheingold (standalone) folders/files to volume D.

I don’t need ISTA/P and I would not like to change the running system, esp. not the HDDSerial and MachineGuid. And I don’t know what happens after install of Admin License. Therefor I prefer the standalone version, even that I need some fixed files (thank you and maxtorrld for sharing) and I need to extract the original Rheingold files from the *.msi.

Or do you think, I could install the Admin license (without changing the HDDSerial and the "MachineGuid") and the ISTAD-System*.msi, apply the fix and after that simply copy/paste the total Rheingold folders to volume D without problems? Maybe that’s more work with searching/changing the registry and other files, than apply the standalone fix and copying directly to D.

Unclear for me, that I have under “C:/progamData/BMW/” (only) 1 file under the subfolders “ISPI/config/ILEAN/ISPIAdmin Client/” named “ClientConfiguration.xml”. Starting Rheingold, this file changes always to the actual date, but I never had istalled Admin License (so far as I remember).
