How do I register a Formativ product for hundreds of users?
Response:
Q: I pushed out the Formativ client to all our users via the GroupWise Add On directory. Now I see that all the Formativ clients will expire after a 30 day trial. I have the correct registration license key, but do I now have to walk to hundreds of desktops and type the license key in?
A: No. If you had used the /r- parameter in the AddOn.cfg file, it would have been possible to automatically register Formativ when the software was installed. This command-line parameter is a standard feature of the installation program. For Formativ 2.0 and later, see the Guide for your Formativ product. For Formativ 1.6 and earlier, see the Distribution Kit documentation.
However, as the software is already installed, you can register it by running the installation program again and using the /ro- command-line parameter. For example:
formativruntime /ro-<regcode>
where <regcode> should be replaced by the Formativ client registration key code.
This facility will register the software without installing any software and without user intervention. An icon with this command line could be distributed to the end user via ZENWorks, or perhaps you could send an email to each user with a batch file attached, which would run a centrally accessible installation program with the appropriate /ro-<regcode> command-line parameter.
