Mandating a specific account is a sign of a) poor securty and b) crappy development practice.

We used to use Patrol from BMC at a company, and while it required admin/sysadmin privileges on previous Windows versions, it was actually our own developers that "reused" the service account we had set up for Patrol in other places to avoid worrying about security. It took me over a year to get that password changed after I started.
