The installers provided for ETABS v19 provide additional parameters to control how the installation executes, as well as allow setting values related to licensing. An example looks like:

   Setup.exe /v"/qn SHOWACTIVATE=0 NGEN=1 LicenseMode=Cloud ActivationKey=8AD7BF02-176C-4182-9A39-42534B8EC410 Server=MyLicenseServer Level=Plus"

where,

   Setup.exe should be changed to the name of the downloaded InstallShield setup file

and the parameter values are specified as:

• SHOWACTIVATE - specifies whether to prompt for standalone license activation.
  • 0 - turns the prompt off
  • 1 - turns the prompt on
• NGEN - specifies whether to perform native image generation.
  • 0 - turns native image generation off
  • 1 - turns native image generation on
• LicenseMode - sets the desired license mode for the software to use.
  • Cloud
  • Trial
  • Standalone
  • Network
• ActivationKey - sets a license activation key. Currently this works for cloud licensing, allowing the cloud license to be activated at installation time instead of when the software is first run.
• Server - sets the name or IP address of a legacy network license server.
• Level - sets the desired license level to use when the software is run.
