Hello,

 

is there a way to enable "allow scripts to write file and access network" via a script (.bat or something) or checked as default? I need to install a Plug-in on multiple clients that have no administration rights... is there a way i can solve this problem?

    You need to find the following file:

    macOS:

    /Users/admin/Library/Preferences/Adobe/After Effects/24.0/Adobe After Effects 24.0 Prefs.txt

    Windows:

    C:\Users\admin\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\After Effects\24.0\Adobe After Effects 24.0 Prefs.txt

     

    And under the ["Main Pref Section v2"] section set the"Pref_SCRIPTING_FILE_NETWORK_SECURITY" prop to "1":

     

    So it would be :

    "Pref_SCRIPTING_FILE_NETWORK_SECURITY" = "1"

     

    Note that you need to do that with After Effects closed because otherwise After Effects would overwrite the settings on close with loaded settings.

    You can try to write a .vbs or .bat file to do that, but it will also require admin rights to modify the settings.
