feature request: installation script to create license

asked on July 31, 2018 • Show version history

Hi all,

I've been using the "-log" function to build extract installation scripts:

en\WebClient\SetupLf.exe -log c:\webclient.log

In the installation wizrd, there's in a screen to ask about license key generation. I selected "use license manager server" and completed the other options and continued.

The scripts that are generated don't include command line commands to create the license key.

I've tried the other method - to generate scripts to take a license key file - but that means the server builds will have to be split into to process and include a manual process (to run the fingerprint software).

Is there a way to fully automate installation and licensing with LFDS and Web Access (and other products)?

Hi Ben,

I don't believe that there are ways to connect to the Laserfiche Directory Server to obtain the licenses at the time of installation via the command line directly. The suggested method would be to generate the license from the LFDS server and then point to that during the unattended installation procedure. I believe this has to do with how the LFDS server handles authentication at the time of installation.

Hi Justin,

Thanks for your response. Although this answers my question, it's not what I wanted to hear! I presume you mean this:

LICENSEPATH="\\myserver\apps\LaserficheAutomation\LicenseFiles\server1\lf web - server1.licx"

Can I put in a request to automate license key generation?

Here's why: I'm preparing the documentation and package scripts for a customer who has multiple environments (DEV, System Testing, UAT, Pre-Prod, Pre-Prod DR, and Prod, Prod DR). With additional servers for Fail-over.

Each environment contains from 1 to 6 servers. So there are around 13 LF servers, 13 Web Client servers...etc.

With the method you suggested, I won't be able to script the server builds from start-to-finish, rather will need to interrupt the server build with a manual process to create the licx files (about 13 for each LF application) before running the parameterised LF software installations.
