Silent Installations of Licensed Drivers

The installer program provides an option for silent installations of licensed drivers. The silent installation is useful for system administrators who want to create a configuration file to execute multiple identical installations of the drivers. The installation is silent in the sense that it requires no user interaction, but it sends output messages to the display as the installation proceeds.
A silent installation requires performing the following steps:
*Creating the configuration file. You can create the configuration file in either of the following ways:
*Using the GUI installer. See Creating the Configuration File Using the GUI Installer for instructions.
*Using the command-line installer. See Creating the Configuration File Using the Command-Line Installer for instructions.
*Using a text editor. See Creating a Configuration File Using a Text Editor for instructions.
*Performing the silent installation. See Performing a Silent Installation for instructions.
Important: Your product license may limit the number of CPUs that can exist on the machine on which the product is installed. This limit also is imposed on any machine on which the silent installation is performed. If you need to upgrade your product license, contact your Progress DataDirect sales representative.
