I had some thoughts about installing BIONC without admin rights, so I copied the whole BOINC folder to another PC and started the Boinc manager. I canceld all work, so that it doesnt calculate the results twice and that it downloads new work. That also worked like it should.
After that I had a look at my account, at my computers.
The "unknown AMD" disappeard and the Duron I copied the folder too, is listed instead with the credits of my mobile.
After that I thought, you just have to make a fresh install on a pc with admin rights and after that copy the whole folder to a pc without admin rights to make it work.
But somehow I wanted to run Boink on the mobile again to see if I can "take over" the points again. So I shut the Duron down and started BOINC on the mobile again. After doing so I have now the unknown AMD and the Duron listed in "my computers" with different computer id's. The Duron still has the points of the mobile, but thats not important.
So I take it that all you have to do to get BOINC working on a pc without admin rights is to copy a existing boinc folder, cancel the work , update, et voila its running?
Or if you want to keep the points install BOINC into a new folder and copy the whole thing to another pc?
Can anyone confirm this?
