Also, if the target machine is a VM, make sure you recorded the install script on a similar VM and not a physical machine.ģ. Make sure your target client machine during the silent install has the same OS version as the recording machine. If so, our installer runs in uninstall mode.Ģ. Make sure your target client does not already have EViews installed on it. If you run into problems with the silent install method, here are a few things to check for:ġ. This requires the user to manually enter his/her own serial number, which you can provide via an email or however you wish.
Now when EViews is run for the first time on the target machine, it will not pre-fill in the serial number on the Registration dialog.

To do this, we provide a special checkbox on the installer dialog that asks for the serial number:
But if you wish to perform multiple silent installs each with a different serial number, you will want to prevent EViews from remembering the serial number entered during installation. This is done for convenience so that our typical user does not have enter the serial number twice. When EViews runs for the first time after an install, if a standalone license was entered during the installation, EViews will automatically pre-fill this serial number into the Registration dialog that appears. However, for standalone license users where each user has a different serial number, doing a silent install requires a few more steps. This is ideal for those of you that purchased a concurrent or an unlimited lab license because all of your users will share the single serial number (typically registered on a local EViews License server). This means that this serial number will be "recorded" into the installer script if you are in record mode. Typically, our installers ask for an EViews serial number during installation in order to know how to setup EViews licensing properly on the target machine. The -s parameter tells the installer to run in silent mode.ĮViews Licensing Issues with silent installs
