Hi,

i am also intrested in a silent install for FLEXnet Admin Version 11.19.6.1.

Is there a known way to do it?

I know the way to install PTC Creo Parametric silent for example is to start the setup.exe with the -xml parameters. E.g.:
"SOURCEPATH\"setup.exe" -xml "SOURCEPATH\pim\xml\creobase.xml" -xml "SOURCEPATH\pim\xml\pma.xml"

In the source from the FLEXnet Admin is also a pim\xml\flexadmin.xml file, but when i start the setup.exe from the source of FLEXnet Admin with the parameter to the given .xml-file i always get an errorcode -1.

I think this has to do with the missing license.dat file which i need to browse in the gui installation.

Is there a way to define the license.dat file in the pim\xml\flexadmin.xml or to define the license.dat file as a parameter?

Thank you in advance.

Best regards

Hi, I couldn't find a solution yet. Especially with the need to uninstall and install on every upgrade, it would be nice to script it.
