Make it possible to use NZXT CAM on multiple Windows users

NZXT cam can only be installed on one user. I have a set-up where i have multiple users and an Admin user for update management.

The Admin users CAM software starts automatically. On any other user I have to open the installer and after the installer closes the program opens with settings from the Admin user.

Please give us a possibility to have CAM open on any user that on the computer.

    @Mal Curtis ? Why not ?

    To be honest as every hardware related software work pretty similar.

    1) Administrative account can change everything (in this case also curves)

    2) Non ministrative - standard account also have Access but limited ?in this case we to Leds)


    Look from the other side. Currently you got on top profiles, also under every aspect you can pick custom named configuration. What it it for if only from one account it can be use?

    NZXT Is made especially for home usage (specs/materials/look - is not made for business/enterprise level). Therefore in case of one pc for home persons let's sey 1 male 1 female and 1-3 kids. Every of them got their own accounts on Windows with privileges set. Adults admins kids standard account.


    For now those profiles and many customs config for each setting are useless. Moreover wife is asking me why when she is logging in pc is so loud (while she isn't doing anything what would cause have load) - THIS IS COUSED ANY CURRENT WAY OF THIS PROGRAM WORKING. On my windows profile there is Nzxt Cam in startup (so she can't turn it on without killing all Nzxt Cam processes) and fan curves loads immediately in my case (go almost silent).

    If everyone of windows users would autorun with startup then:

    1) fans wouldn't overthrottle as basic bios settings but would immediately adapt to curves set in nzxt am (i would be glad to see option to disable possiblity to change those form standard accounts, but still have option to set it thru profile in Cam software or from administrative account) (to prevent kids messing with pc to burn out CPU and GPU)

    2) Every user could have his own led configurations - ie princess pinkies for small girls/ colors related to favorite movies / or even Christmas seasonal colors...

    This is insane, we cannot have two users on the same computer controlling the fans - ridiculous. Please add this simple functionality.
