Alexander,
CT need Administrator rights during install in order to register the OLE interface. You don’t need to run CT using Administrator rights, just during install. However, when you install CT asks where you want to store your projects. If you plan to use CT using a different user you have to choose a folder that can accessible by this user.
“I was unable to register the license as a normal user, which I am able to do with the majority of purchased programs”.
Could you explain what happened? When you register a file called LICENSE.LIC is created in ConnectedText folder under yours My Documents (Documents) folder. If you log with a different name, CT will ask again to register since the license is stored under a different name.
So, I suggest to do the following: log as normal user. Check if there is a folder named ConnectedText under My Documents (Documents). If it is does not exist, create it. Run CT and it will ask to register. Enter you license. If it does not work contact me so I can further help you.
Best regards,
Eduardo

Excellent, that worked! Thanks for the really quick reply on a Saturday :-)
(Indeed, CT probably couldn’t find the ConnectedText folder and gave an error message, because I had set from the beginning a Dropbox folder for storing projects instead of the default)
I’m very happy that it was just a technical issue and not one of policy. Thanks again.

We did this change recently in order to avoid storing the license in the same folder where projects are stored, because it caused a problem when a Dropbox folder is used.

Dropbox has become a de facto standard for many people working from various locations like myself; I personally also use also Nomadesk which provides integrated encryption.
It is indeed not evident that programs are capable of working with a service like Dropbox without adjustments, but as users we have come to expect this. In my case, I use very much the ‘junction’ utility, creating subfolder redirections from My Documents (which many programs will use as a default) to folders of the same name under Dropbox.
Anyway, for Connected Text I have kept the project folder under Dropbox and the regular ‘ConnectedText’ subfolder under My Documents so all should be well. Thanks again!

Eduardo,
I understand that Connected Text has been developed as a _personal_ wiki, but I wonder whether it allows for team use, e.g. via a shared network or Dropbox folder.
I’m not contemplating collaborative work as such—e.g. concurrent editing- but rather read-only access by various users.
