Performing a silent installation

You can perform silent (that is, unattended) installations on Windows and Linux as described below.

Performing a silent installation of End-user Tools and the license server on Windows

LM-X End-user Tools can be installed silently using msiexec (for details on using msiexec, refer to the Microsoft Developer Network at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa367988).

When performing a silent installation, it is recommended to use reduced UI level, which can be triggered by using msiexec with the /qr flag (although the software can also be installed using other /q flags as well).

You can then configure the installation using the following public properties:

Property	Description	Default
INSTALLDIR	Path under which LM-X End-user Tools will be installed.	x86: C:\Program Files (x86)\X-Formation\LM-X End-user Tools version x64: C:\Program Files\X-Formation\LM-X End-user Tools version x64
INSTALLSERVER	If set to 1, LM-X license server will be installed alongside the End-user Tools.	1
VENDORDLLPATH	Path to liblmxvendor.dll that will be copied to INSTALLDIR. Set to empty string to disable copying the dll. Has no effect if INSTALLSERVER <> 1.	N/A
INSTALLSERVICE	If set to 1, LM-X license server will be installed as a service. Has no effect if INSTALLSERVER <> 1.	1
SERVICEDISPLAYNAME	Display name of installed LM-X license server service. Has no effect if INSTALLSERVICE or INSTALLSERVER <> 1.	LM-X license server version

For example:

C:\lmx-sdk-v4.4.6>msiexec /i lmx-enduser-tools_v4.4.6_win32_x86.msi VENDORDLLPATH=C:\lmx-sdk-v4.4.6\win32_x86\liblmxvendor.dll INSTALLDIR=C:\lmx-enduser-v4.4.6 /qr

Performing a silent installation of the SDK and End-user Tools on Linux

The LM-X SDK and End-user Tools can be installed silently on Linux as described below.

LM-X SDK installation

You can run a silent (that is, unattended) installation of the LM-X SDK at a command line using the following options.

Option	Description
-c security_config_filename	Use a security configuration file from a previous installation.
-b	Compile the LM-X SDK after installation.
-t	Install the LM-X End-User Tools after LM-X SDK compilation.
-k activation_key	An activation key.
-f license_file_path	License file path.
-e accept \| reject	Accept or reject the End User License Agreement.
-i installation_directory	Installation directory.
-h	Print this help message.

Example 1

The following example installs the SDK without compiling it or installing End-User Tools:

./lmx-sdk_v4.5.2_linux_x64.sh -- -e accept -i /opt/lmx-sdk-4.5.2 -f /home/vendor/Download/lmx.lic

Example 2

The following example:

Installs and compiles the SDK
Installs the End-User Tools to the path /opt/lmx-sdk-4.5.2
Registers the LM-X License Server Service under the default name “lmx-serv-4.5.2.”

./lmx-sdk_v4.5.2_linux_x64.sh -- -e accept -i /opt/lmx-sdk-4.5.2 -f /home/vendor/Download/lmx.lic -b -t

LM-X End-User Tools installation

You can run a silent (that is, unattended) installation of the LM-X End-User Tools at a command line using the following options:

Option	Description
-s	Start the LM-X License Server after installation.
-l library_path	LM-X vendor library path.
-n service_name	Service name (defaults to lmx-serv-version).
-r	Overwrite existing service.
-u username	Run as the specified user.
-e accept \| reject	Accept or reject End User License Agreement.
-i installation_directory	Installation directory.
-h	Print this help message.

Example 1

The following example:

Accepts the EULA
Installs the LM-X License Server and End-User Tools to /opt/lmx-enduser
Registers the LM-X License Server Service under the default name “lmx-serv-4.5.2.”

./lmx-enduser-tools_v4.5.2_linux_x64.sh -- -e accept -i /opt/lmx-enduser -l /home/enduser/Download/liblmxvendor.so
