User Account Control

You can use Silk Test Workbench with User Account Control (UAC). You can test an application with UAC enabled when the application has the same security level as Silk Test Workbench.

You need administrator permissions to install Silk Test Workbench on your system. When Silk Test Workbench is installed, you no longer need administrator permissions to work with Silk Test Workbench.

Note: If you want to use Silk Test Workbench with UAC enabled, we recommend you not to install Silk Test Workbench into the Program Files directory, because Silk Test Workbench requires writing permissions to the install directory. However, if you decide to install the Silk Test Workbench into the Program Files directory, you need administrator permissions to configure the database for Silk Test Workbench.
