No, it's not like that.
A SYSTEM account has all necessary privileges, exceeding even those of 
Administrator.
It's Solid Edge installer that is broken - I can recommend you complain 
to your vendor.

It's amazing that the first multi-user Windows system (Windows 2000) 
"for masses" was released 7 years ago, yet software vendors still assume 
the software will be installed manually on each workstation, and using 
Administrator account, and then, preferably, started using Administrator 
account.

You can remember credentials (/savecred), but I never used that tool 
from a SYSTEM account, so I'm not sure if and how it works.
