When installing Crystal Ball on a number of computers, it can be helpful to install and license using a script.
If you have access to a Crystal Ball .msi installation file, you can use msiexec to run the installation by entering the following statement on one line:
msiexec /i "Oracle Crystal Ball.msi filename" CBUSERNAME="cbusername" CBSERIALNUMBER=cbserialnumber /qnOracle Crystal Ball.msi filename can be Oracle Crystal Ball (32-bit).msi or Oracle Crystal Ball (64-bit).msi, depending on whether you are installing 32-bit or 64-bit Crystal Ball.
cbusername and cbserialnumber are the user name and Crystal Ball serial number for the particular individual whose product is being installed and licensed.
Note: | Enclose username in quotation marks. Do not add spaces within the serial number. |
If you only have access to the Crystal Ball setup executable file, possibly through a download from the Web, you can perform a silent installation and license at the same time with this statement:
setupfilename /s /v"CBUSERNAME=\"cbusername\" CBSERIALNUMBER=cbserialnumber /qn"
setupfilename includes the bit level (32-bit or 64-bit).
