“You must have administrative privileges on this system in order to install HyperTerminal Private Edition. Contact your system administrator for assistance.”

If you are using the Microsoft Edge browser (default for Windows 10) please click Save, then click Open Folder rather than Run when running the install program.

If you are still experiencing this error message or are not using Edge:
The HyperTerminal installation program performs a check to see if your account has administrative privileges before installing, however a recent update is causing this check to fail more often for non-administrative accounts that should still have administrative privileges.

If you receive this error message on a computer where you should have administrative privileges please attempt the following.

First, right click on the HyperTerminal installer, and select Run as Administrator.

If you still receive the error message download this alternate version and install it. This version removes the administrator check entirely, so if your account does not have the needed privileges the install might still fail, but if it is only failing because of the check it should install as normally.

The majority of our clients use the HyperTerminal software. If you are familiar with the original version of HyperTerminal that was licensed by Microsoft to include with Windows, the current version of HyperTerminal Private Edition has all these features and more.

If you need the most commonly used terminal emulators, communication options, or file transfer protocols you can use either HyperTerminal or HyperACCESS.

If you need a customizable program with advanced features like scripting or automation or if you use less common terminal emulators you will need HyperACCESS.
For specific features please expand the lists below.

The licensing is on a per-pc basis, so you will need one license for each computer that the software is installed on. Volume discounts are available for those ordering 10 or more copies.

Even though you may have already purchased, just click the “yes” to purchase and a screen should pop up asking for the serial number. If by clicking “yes” it takes you to the order screen again just close out of that and the next screen you see will ask for the serial number.

This usually means that your computer does not have a dial-up modem present. If you are sure that you do have a modem you probably need to either restart the computer, or re-install the modem drivers. In the case of a USB modem please ensure that it is still plugged in.

Both programs can be used with a broadband connection. Telnet and SSH connections can be used over broadband, however, some systems require a different type of connection.
