Command line installation

I’m trying to figure out how to use the new license server url and activation code from the command line on linux.

We would like to automate the rollout to our render nodes and previously we’ve had great success using the command line parameters and unattended mode. As far as I can see there’s no info in the documentation on how to do this.

Manual text mode would do it, but would take us a while :wink:

Right, we’ll need to update our docs with the new flags.

In the meantime though, you should be able to run the installer with the ‘–help’ flag, and it will give you all the flags you can use to do a silent install.

More specifically, here are the ones related to licensing:

 --licensemode <licensemode>                     License Mode
                                                 Default: 
                                                 Allowed: Standard UsageBased 

 --licenseserver <licenseserver>                 The license server to use
                                                 Default: 

 --licenseurl <licenseurl>                       The address of your licensing server as provided by Thinkbox sales staff.
                                                 Default: 

 --licenserights <licenserights>                 The activation code needed to begin using metered licensing.
                                                 Default: 

Ah, I found it now. I think what confused me was the parameter “–licenserights” which didn’t correspond with activation code :slight_smile:

Thanks!
