providing Serial number to InstallShield 12 SP2 in silent installation

[yzaltz]

I have this very old installShield version (12 SP2) 

I want to provide the serial number to the installer during unattended installation.

Any idea how to do it?

On the command line I run:

>IS12_StandAlone_Build_SP2_setup.exe /S /v/qn

Hi @yzaltz ,

I dont think so silent installation of SAB via activation code might be available for InstallShield 12 .

But below information can help you:

If licensing method is of license server/license file you can use:

setup.exe /s /v"LICENSETYPE=2 SERVERNAME=MyServer PORTNUMBER=1234 /qn"

setup.exe /s /v"LICENSETYPE=1 IS_BROWSE_FILEBROWSED=C:\license.lic /qn"

 this applies to  InstallShield 2014 and later.

As well you can try activating silently on InstallShield 2012(Looks like from IS-2010 on wards where-ever TSConfig.exe is available) using commandline:

TSConfig.exe /silent /activate /serial_number12345678-D09-1234567890

*Obviously you need to replace the above serial number with a valid number.

**Note that there cannot be a space between the /serial_number command switch and the actual serial number!

The above one you can have it on script which can be after your SAB silent installation,thereby it gets activated silently.

Hope it helps,

Thanks,
