1. Make a copy of the Milestones Professional 2006.msi file on your network in a place that all users of this computer can access and then install from that copy.

—OR—

2. Install from the copy of Milestones Professional 2006.msi on your Milestones Professional 2006 CD and then make sure that current and future users of this computer have access to the CD.

In an All Users installation, it is very important that Milestones be started by an Administrator so that the Activation step can be accomplished. Any Restricted Users, i.e. users assigned only to the Users group, may not be able to successfully Activate Milestones since they may not have access to the section of the registry that holds the Activation key.
