The first sentence already states that the original launcher can remain the administrator. I also find that there are too many "system administrators"... so why not:
That person can remain System Administrator, or can assign that role
to anyone else. Subsequent administrators can remove the original System Administrator. The
[application] does not place a limit on the number of System
Administrators."

How about:
The original System Administrator can remain as the System Administrator, or any subsequent System Administrators can remove the original System Administrator from that role.

Hi, guys...It is Friday of a LONG week and I have a paragraph in my
SysAdmin doc that I'm fighting with (and losing). It goes like this:
---------------------
"After installation, the first person who launches the Administration
Console becomes, by default, the [Application] System Administrator
with all right and permissions.
That person can remain System Administrator or can assign that role
to anyone else. The **original** System Administrator can remain as
the System Administrator or the **second** System Administrator can
remove the original System Administrator from that role. The
[application] does not place a limit on the number of System
Administrators."
---------------------
I'm looking for a term to replace **second** since in reality, second
means anyone after the original one. What I'm NOT looking for is
comments on whether it is a good idea for the application to behave
the way it does. (note..in the doc, I don't use the asterisks)
