The Internet license may be installed from the command line. However, all the usual "rules" for installing the Internet license still need to be followed. For example, the DBC program user must be logged in. To activate the Internet license, the user must click on the link in the Internet license activation e-mail. The user should check to see if the Internet license activation e-mail ended up in the Junk E-mail folder.
The Internet license installation program is help.exe, located in the same directory as the DBC program. By default, the entire process is silent.
Note, if a valid Internet license is already installed, the program will terminate without installing another. Use the -force parameter to force another Internet license installation..
The process is silent. If there's an existing Internet license, the user won't receive an Internet license activation e-mail. Whenever an Internet license is installed, an activation e-mail is generated, the user should check for the e-mail. Use the -enable_activate_notice to explicitly pop up a message to check for the e-mail if a license was installed.
Invoke help.exe from the same directory as the DBC program. This is because help.exe may update or create the .set file that tells the DBC program to use the Internet license.
The syntax to install an Internet license is:
help -inetlic -ln [license_number] -lc [license_code] [-u [user_email_addr]] [-it [it_email_addr]] [-httpu [user] -httpp [password]]
-force -enable_activate_notice -p
where (note the spaces between flags and values):
-inetlic - indicates an Internet license installation is being performed (required)
-ln [license_number] - the license number (required)
-lc [license_code] - the license code (required)
-u [user_email_addr] - the user's e-mail address (required)
-it [it_email_addr] - the IT e-mail address (optional)
-httpu [user] - the HTTP proxy user name (optional)
-httpp [password] - the HTTP proxy password (optional)
-force - install the Internet license even if there is a valid license already installed (optional)
-enable_activate_notice - display a dialog if the user should expect an Internet license activation e-mail (optional)
-p - prompt (popup dialog) for the user e-mail address and IT e-mail address (optional)
If the -u and -it parameters defined the e-mail addresses, the popup will use those e-mail addresses as the default.
The e-mail addresses entered in the popup will override the -u and -it parameters.
This is a new parameter that will be included in DBC program updates after July 1, 2015.
Note: flags/values must be separated by a space.
This uses the correct syntax:
help -inetlic -ln 123123 -lc 123123123 -p
This does not use the correct syntax:
help -inetlic -ln123123 -lc123123123
