I had a similar problem, though when it said it couldn't open it I quit LFS and went to the LFS directory and manually opened LFS_PATCH_X30_TO_X32 which patched it fine 
. I guess it's just UAC proving annoying

Thanks to all who replied, specifically about the hibernation issue. A restart with no hibernation appears to have restored my license. I had sent a message to lfstech and received the same reply. I'll do some more testing to make sure this is all, and then modify my habits so I don't hibernate my laptop until the bug is fixed. Once again, thanks to all those who replied.

More unlock issues
I've played LFS Demo for a while, and finally bought S2, with the payment coming through this morning. I unlocked the game on my laptop and my home desktop machine. When I went to Uni, and tried to use the game on my laptop I'd been reset to a Demo racer.
Having read some different forum threads, I noted that dual boot has been known to cause issues, so given one spare unlock (that I'll get tomorrow) was available, I'd test some things out. A simple reload of the game didn't produce any problems, so I disconnected the wheel and hibernated the laptop. When I turned it on again, demo racer. I have double checked that all the files are not read only.
I have done shut downs on the desktop machine and logged on as different users, and it still holds the S2 license fine. My laptop does not hold the install even if all I do is reboot or hibernate.
I have had an install of linux on my laptop which I use from time to time, and this has modified the master boot record so that I use an initial bootloader called GRUB. This then loads the windows bootloader should I choose windows. The desktop has only a single instance of windows.
It's rather frustrating as I'd prefer not to reinstall my laptop to only have a single windows and no linux install... I was wondering if anyone else has had similar issues? It's hard to test exact scenarios that cause the loss of registered status because I don't have any unlocks left.
Any help would be appreciated.
