HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Mindjet\MindManager\7
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Mindjet\MindManager\7
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\SLP Services
 
MindManager 8
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Mindjet\MindManager\8
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Mindjet\MindManager\8

Without these permissions, users may receive any of the below errors. 

When activating on Windows Vista, a common command that can solve for many of the below issues is to run the installer or the executable as an administrator. This can be accomplished by right-clicking the install exe or the main MindManager.exe from the program files directory (not a shortcut) and choosing the command Run as Administrator.
