Error Saving Registration Limits

Symptom
After entering the access key and clicking OK, you get the message “error saving registration limits.”

Cause
You do not have the correct access rights to the marcmagician.ini file in the C:\Windows folder (for Windows 2000, it’s the winnt folder).

Solution
Contact your IT department (or do it yourself if you are able) and have them grant you modify, read and execute, read, and write rights to the marcmagician.ini file in C:\windows (for Windows XP) or C:\winnt (for Windows 2000).
