Install Tricentis License Server via command prompt

This topic offers a step-by-step guide on how to install License Server using a command prompt for unattended installation.

Before you start

Make sure your machine has the required versions of the following software:

• Microsoft® .NET Hosting Bundle (64-bit)

• Microsoft® Visual C++ Redistributable package

• Oracle Java Runtime Environment or OpenJDK

Then, set the system variable JAVA_HOME in your Java installation.

Follow the installation process

To install your license server via command prompt, follow these steps:

1. Copy the file Tricentis License Server<version number>.msi to a folder of your choice.

2. Open a command prompt and browse to the folder that contains the file Tricentis License Server<version number>.msi.

3. Enter the following command line: msiexec /passive /l <logfile name> /i "Tricentis License Server<version number>.msi" LIC_PASSWORD=<password>

4. Replace <logfile name> with the name you wish to set for your installation log file.

5. Replace <password> with the password of the new administrator user. The password must meet the following requirements:

   • At least 8 characters and up to 64 characters

   • At least one digit

   • At least one upper-case character

   • At least one lower-case character

   • At least one special character

   • No empty space

   For more information on supported special characters, check out this Knowledge Base article (opens in new tab).

   You don't need to specify a username. The administrator account you create during the License Server setup always has the username admin. You can create more administrator accounts after the setup with no username restrictions.

Specify installation parameters

You can specify installation parameters at the end of your command line with this syntax: <parameter name>=<parameter value>. For example: LIC_PASSWORD=My$Password1

Note the following:

• You must include the parameter LIC_PASSWORD in your installation. All the other installation parameters are optional.

• If the parameter value contains spaces, wrap it in double quotation marks. For example: LUS_DBPATH="D:\License Usage Tracking Data Storage\".

These are the available optional parameters:
