I have a doc file from somewhere hexagon/wai that is titled "Registry Keys requiring read (004).docx". Here's the contents copied and pasted.
Basically these registry keys, the .exe launcher, as well as these folders ALL need full admin rights for each PCDMIS user who is uniquely signed into windows. Get with your IT guru.

Registry Keys requiring Read/Write/Modify privileges, (FULL).
Select start all programs Accessories Run
In the run box type in regedit and select ok
Below are the paths you will need to add the user for full read permissions:
Please note: in 2016.0 and newer “WAI” is Replaced by “Hexagon”
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\WAI
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WAI
HKEY_USERS\.Default\Software\WAI
Add each user manually by clicking on Add type in the name search and ok now highlight the name in the top box and check full control and apply and ok
Specific users can be added, (click on Add… button.
In some cases I have had to use Domain Users.
