  3. Expand SOFTWARE
  4. Right click on ALMSysInc and select Permissions.
  5. Click the Advanced button.

Your ALMSys, Inc. sharware application should now work for all other users on that PC. (If the user is already logged in, you may need them to log out and then back in for the security changes to take affect.)
