The only feature LANsurveyor Express will not be able to enable without admin privileges is the discovery of nodes via ICMP ping. LANsurveyor Express attempts to “ping” itself when starting and may return an error if the user does not have administrative rights. The problem is usually insufficient user privileges. You can confirm this diagnosis by bringing up a Windows command prompt and typing “ping 127.0.0.1”. This command attempts to ping the local machine. If this fails, then Windows is indicating that you do not have the required privileges to send ICMP packets.
