Hello. We have server with 2 floating licenses

I try to create xml file for silent installation,but I have two questions

1. I as administrator created xml file, after first installation (mathcad.p.xml)

I have edited xml but one line

<PROPERTY name="[APPLICATIONDATA]">C:\Users\Admin\AppData\Roaming</PROPERTY>

I dont understand what have to be instead of Admin, I think CurrentUSER but how it will look like?

<PROPERTY name="[APPLICATIONDATA]">%Currentuser%\AppData\Roaming</PROPERTY>

or something else?

2. Second question is:

Could you help me to edit this line

<MSIARGUMENT>LICENSEPATHFORM="ServerAndPort" LICENSEPATH="7788@localhost"</MSIARGUMENT>

Our server fpr example Server port 7788 how will be right:

<MSIARGUMENT>LICENSEPATHFORM="Server:7788 or Server@7788" LICENSEPATH="7788@localhost"</MSIARGUMENT>

Thank you for your answers.

Finally I have found someone who asks kind of the same question but then this post is 6 years old and unanswered too!

 

I'm trying to make a silent installation of mathcad prime 7 here and the installation itself seems to work, the program gets installed.

When I start the programm it prompts the licensing window, even though I edited the mathcad.p.xml file in order to automate that step for our users.

I tried

 

<MSIARGUMENT>LICENSEPATHFORM="servername:7788" LICENSEPATH="7788@localhost"</MSIARGUMENT>

 

and I also tried servername@7788 but the problem remains, I can't license an installation automaticly.

 

Am I missing something here? Do I have to change the licensepath aswell?

Thank you very much for the reply and sorry for hijacking this old post.

Sadly I can't find anything about silent installs or the mathcad.p.xml file under that link you provided so I'm right where I started.
