silent install archicad 19

Anonymous
Not applicable
Hi,

we purchased archicad 19 for education purpose. We already received the user id and serial number. How can we do silent installation with both information?
In Version 17 we used "setup.exe -silent". For version 19 we tried "setup.exe -silent -userid "xxxx" -serial "xxxxx", but we failed. If we just used setup.exe -silent, installation will be finished. however, when student first click the software icon, system will ask student to input userid and serial number. that is not what we want.

Can someone help, please?

Thanks a lot.

I have never tried this but you may have to create an installation package:

I have a hardware key, not a serial number so I don't know whether the installer asks for the serial number during the install process or not.
But I suppose if it does and you create an installation package, the package will include the serial number information.

Then you can do a silent install of the created package:
