I have this fancy pants USB Flash Memory stick deal and have taken a liking to running my Zmud off of it. Only problem with it happens to be its inability to deal with non-administrators and the licensing.

In a perfect world I would like to run my little version of Zmud off the USB device on a system without being logged in as the Admin and have my portable Zmud licensed in such a way that I don't have to license every computer I come across. But I'll settle for the latter only.

There is no way to do this. Your zMUD license is tied to the specific computer you run it on. The license allows you to run zMUD on 3 different computers. You can put zMUD on a USB device, but you will need Admin access on each machine so that zMUD can install the eLicense system. Then when you are done with using zMUD on that machine, you can Unlicense zMUD on that machine to avoid using up your 3 licenses.

But this has the bad side effect of leaving eLicense on the computer, with no way to remove it. Also, someone can potentially discover your registration code by looking through certain files on the computer.

zMUD was never designed for common-computer usage like this. It's just too easy for hackers to use zMUD for free when this is done, and if that happened, zMUD would cease to exist.
