When I try and update is says “error occurred in the move data process” what does this mean?

The cause of this error is usually down to PowerSuite still running in the background or a third party piece of software blocking the installation.
When I try to start PowerSuite it says “data registry is read only” what does this mean?

This error is usually caused by user permissions. Make sure you are logged in as an administrator if this is the first time installing the software. If you have been able to use the software in the past then it’s possible your user permissions have been changed.
