Introduction

When you install PC Access® for Windows the User Authorization Manager (UAM) installs your User Authorization. If the UAM is unable to install your User Authorization, you can use SCMOVE.EXE to "force" the installation of your User Authorization.

Some of the earlier versions of PC Access 4.30 did not install SCMOVE.EXE into the PC Access executable directory (PCAWIN). If your copy of PC Access is in one of the following serial number ranges:

  • 436500001 through 436500859
    (excluding serial number range: 436500828 through 436500830)
