We can change this, but I wonder whether other applications do this as well. I'm not sure, but it seems quite logical that the app would be registered only for a specific user.

I'm not sure--if it's installed to a single machine, I would expect that any user on that machine should be able to use it (since only one user will be at the machine at a time).

As an example, when I install MS Office software, it is registered for all users on the machine.

It's actually related to how MM is installed. Currently (as already discussed in other issues) MM is installed per user, all settings are saved this way and so I don't think it makes sense to save registration information differently.

If we want to do so, we probably should include the choices - install 'per user' or 'for all users' in the installer.

Per discussion it would make sense to be inconsistent in this case. i.e. to save registration data on a per machine basis, but to save user config data on a per user basis.

Note: Per machine registrations make big Problems when MM user wants to use MM on Work Computer and want to have access to GOLD Feature.

Solution would be that we use HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE instead of HKEY_CURRENT_USER we currently use in registry. That is how Office works.
