Examples for silent install
The following example shows a silent installation in which the source location path, configuration connection info (.cci) file, password, and installation location are all specified.
"E:\Smart Licensing\Smart Licensing Client Setup.exe" -silent -install SLAACCEPT=YES CONFIGFILE="E:\Smart Licensing Client\ConfigurationConnectionInfoFile.cci" CONFIGPASSWORD=pswd INSTALLLOCATION="D:\Smart Licensing"
The following example shows a silent installation in which PowerShell is used:
& "E:\Smart Licensing\Smart Licensing Client Setup.exe" -silent -install SLAACCEPT=YES CONFIGFILE="E:\Smart Licensing\ConfigurationConnectionInfoFile.cci" CONFIGPASSWORD=pswd INSTALLLOCATION="D:\Smart Licensing" | Out-Null
