Info
Applies to versions 7.1 and newer.
The License Manager is extended with a command-line interface for automating, installing, and removing instances, as well as performing activation and deactivation. This should help you automatically install and activate the software without forcing the end-user to run the Lasernet License Manager manually. It still requires a unique activation key that can be activated a limited number of times.
The following features are supported:
Add an instance (requires name and port)
Remove an instance (requires name)
Activate an instance (requires name and activation key)
Deactivate an instance (requires name)
Activate all installed instances (requires activation key)
Deactivate all installed licenses (requires nothing, optionally also deactivate Developer)
Activating Developer (if present)
Deactivate Developer (if present)
To use Lasernet License Manager from the command line, it should be called from a console window such as:
LnLicenseManager.exe <action> <parameters...>
Note
The actions and corresponding parameters are described in the following table, and also in help (LnLicenseManager.exe –help). Install and activate cannot be executed on the same command line.
