A silent installation allows you to complete Chaos License Server installation without running the installer's GUI. To complete a silent installation, run the installer with the following command:

Code Block
cgls_win_56.30.0.exe -auto

This installs the license server with the automatic preferences and accepts the EULA. 

If you want to specify a custom installation directory or choose not to add firewall exceptions, run the installer with the following command:

Code Block
cgls_win_56.30.0.exe -gui=0 -quiet=1

 

The -quiet=1 argument automatically accepts the EULA. You can then select an installation directory and choose whether to include firewall exceptions.
