How to install License Key automatically

[Becker99]

Hello,

i have installed the Viewer-Pro and XChange4 via Group-Policy Software distribution.
Unfortunately the embedded license was not recognized, so all installations are trials now.
How can i insert the license via scripting after installing?

thanks.

Did you use .msi for deployment ?

[Becker99]

Sure, I did, nothing else works with GPO distribution.
I added the properties KEY, ORGANIZATION, USERMAIL and USERNAME via a MST transformation file.
Unfortunately the registration was not distributed to the clients.

Is there any way to insert the key into the existing installation autmoatically via script?

thanks,
Alexander Becker

You can write it to the registry.

Registry path is HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Tracker Software\PDFViewer\Registration,
key name Key, type - string.

Okay, this seems to work.
But one have to pay attention that eventually existing values inside HKEY_CURRENT_USER are catched before HKLM.

For anyone who needs this, here are two .reg templates for importing via script, one at computer start time (HKLM) and one at login time (HKCU)
