Unattended install including license

[Solution_Provider]

We are very interested in being able to deploy patches and/or ASG-RD versions programmatically including the license in a way similar to issuing a command with a parameter like:
\\Server\Share\ASG\ASGRD_SQLExpress_Setup.exe /License:\\Server\Share\ASG\LicenseFile_123456789.xml
Is there already a way to accomplish this and we just don’t know the parameters or switches to get this done?

Currently this is not possible - we will add a new command line option to update/install license in a next patch...

Is this available now?  We are looking at pushing ASG-RD 2020 via SCCM unattended to all our engineering staff.  Would like to push unattended with the /S switch and also add the license file.

Yes - it's documented in help file - but it needs an active environment - so decide if you want to use this option or better to import the text of the license file directly to registry


/importlicense:<filepath>

Specifies the path to the license file. You also need to specify the environment and login information to execute. The program will end after the license import action.

How can be a license stored for all users who are using Terminal Server?

Users who are using a local data source (file) on a Terminal Server do not need to import the license in each data file. You can use a registry key instead to provide the license to all users. This works only for local mode because in database the license is stored itself. Just open the license file with a text editor and copy the whole content to the registry key.


HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\ASG\RemoteDesktop2020\License (32 bit systems or 64 bit program version)

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Wow6432Node\ASG\RemoteDesktop2020\License (32 bit program version on 64 bit systems)


The value can be stored as String or MultiString.

Hi all,

I've been following the thread on automating license installations and got to thinking about our scenario. We use SQL databases to store connection info, and it's a bit of a task updating licenses manually for each team's database. Has anyone tried to automate this?

I'm looking for a way to streamline the process, so any pointers or experiences you could share would be super helpful. Maybe there's a script or a workaround that's worked for you?

Thanks in advance!

For database environments you have to store the license inside the database environment - if your database is created/running - you can import/update the license via command line

Help=>How to=>Use command line parameters=>Command line parameters for starting the application => Parameter is /importlicense

Hope that helps
