LiberKey: Run from network drive

Publication date: 2020-04-30

LiberKey is a Windows tool for managing portable applications.

Issue: LiberKey refused to be used on a network drive

According to the forum post referenced below, this is a safeguard intende to prevent corruptions of configuration files if multiple instances are run.

Solution: Tweak the LiberKey configuration

This protection can be disabled (if you accept the risk) by adding a line in the config file "\LiberKeyTools\LiberKeyMenu\LiberKeyMenu.xml":

<Config>
   ...
   <EnableNetworkStart>yes</EnableNetworkStart>
</Config>
