Should I install Stat/Transfer with root privileges?

If you have a multi-user license and you are installing the software for others to use, it is a good idea to use the sudo command or to log in as root. In this case Stat/Transfer will be installed in /usr/local/stattransfer10 by default. You can, of course select another location if you wish.

However, if you are installing Stat/Transfer for your own use and have a personal license (a sixteen character activation key) we recommend that you install it using your customary login id. Stat/Transfer is built so that all of its shared libraries are in known locations in subdirectories under the executable's. It thus does not require root privileges for an install and once installed, can be copied freely on your disk.
