How do I set a master password for groups?

You can create a group with a master password to encrypted data on a disc or USB drive  When a user decrypts data using the master password, the user will join the group automatically  Then the user can encrypt data from the same group and master password, and can read any encrypted data created by same group with same master without being requested to enter the master password.

PS: The Master password and it’s group setup does not require the Permission Manager tool, you just need to input your group name and password in the password setup dialog box which appears when you click 'Burn’ button.

How to setup the Permission Manager settings for end-users? (different PCs or different user account on the same PC) - Step by Step

Step 1: Log into an Administrator account and launch Permission Manager to change the settings as below, then press Apply, and OK to leave Permission Manager. Now this current user (Administrator) can run RSB with the settings

  1. Find the WorkGroupID in the Registry Editor of the Administrator.  Run "regedit.exe" to launch the Registry Editor and go to "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Roxio\Basic Burn\Preference", copy the value of "WorkGroupID", like "{EFA2CC54-F94B-4253-B2BE-D7B67CCD3F82}" to a txt file, and copy the txt file to “D:\RSB Deployment” where it can be accessed by other user account(s).
  2. Find the "RBPermission.grp" that was created by the Administrator, type %appdata% into the File Explorer address bar to open the folder "C:\Users\%current user%\AppData\Roaming” and go to the “Roxio\Roxio Burn\PermissionManager” folder and copy the RBPermission.grp file to “D:\RSB Deploy”

NOTE: above steps you need to copy the WorkGroupID, RBPermission.grp and GenWorkGroupID.exe to every PCs you want to deploy.

There is another way to deploy the settings without copying the both files to every PCs. You can put the GenWorkGroupID.exe and RBPermission.grp in a shared folder of a PC and enable access right for every users, then run the below command line in every user accounts, which no need to copy files to every user accounts.

- \\%PC shared folder%\GenWorkGroupID.exe {FE0E0959-988D-4e93-BE62-FD681B093BA3} \\%PC shared folder%\RBPermission.grp

TROUBLESHOOTING

Installation question

When the installation cannot be proceeded well, please check if the C++ redistributable package from Microsoft is installed.

Unknown error happen when encrypting/burning data

When unknown encrypting data error happening, please try to disable "Always compress data when encrypting" and try again

This case might happen when restoring your encrypted data to local hard disk.

When you are trying to restore the encrypted data from disc or USB drive to local hard disk, there is a message shows up to inform you the file cannot be restored successfully. When encountering this message, please check if there is any anti-virus application is working

Please ensure your hard disk space is enough when restoring data.

When you are trying to restore the encrypted data from disc or USB drive to local hard disk, RSB will check if the local hard disk available space is over 3 times of the encrypted data

My external harddrive is not showing up, or is showing up as a local disk.

Roxio Secure Burn supports external hard drives - here is the detail logic of the which drives will be show:

  1. If the device type is removable, it can show in Roxio Secure Burn
  2. Some USB connected drive will show as local disk, this based on how Windows detect the device, per our testing, some USB connected devices will be show as local disk. If the device type is local disk, then check the device instance path. If the path contains USBSTOR, the prefix for most USB thumbs. So if the hard disk is connected by hard disk, and it's detected as a local disk by Windows, it will not show.

This is known issue when users decrypt the discs or USB drive that are encrypted by RSB4 in the machine only installed RSB3

The reason is when the PC only has RSB3, when users decrypt data, it will use RSB3 to decrypt data, but if the data was encrypted by RSB4, RSB3 cannot decrypt RSB4's encrypted data well. The solution is to install RSB4 in the PC. or please contact the customer support to have the latest Patch of RSB3 to fix this issue.

There are some settings in Options are greyed and not-changeable, like " Always close DVD disc" , "Enable log", "Access only the data encrypted with Roxio Secure Burn"… How can I change these settings?

If you are IT administrator, you should install the Permission Manager tool and change these settings in Permission Manager tool.If you would like to deploy the settings to the other users who have no Permission Manager tool installed, you should refer to above item(How to setup these settings of Permission Manager to end-users ? (different PCs or different user account in same PC) - Step by Step) to deploy the settings to the other users

"Always close DVD disc" is not just for DVD-R/+R disc, it also can apply to BD-R/+R disc.

Why there are 2 GUI of RSB, one has the caption (Window), another one does have
