How to install iSpring on a number of computers
Applicable to: version 7.0 and later
iSpring authoring tools can be easily deployed over a corporate network in a flash! A network administrator can run an installation script that will install and activate iSpring on a number of computers over the network.
Prerequisites:
- A purchased multiseat license for an iSpring program.
- iSpring installation .msi package.
- Windows System Center Configuration Manager or another network deployment tool.
- Network administrator's assistance or IT experience.
Check out the post about software distribution (Gerry Hampson’s IT blog) to learn more about the .msi network installation procedure.
Information for a network admin
The iSpring installation package is provided as an .msi file. If you simply run this file, the Windows installer will install iSpring on the current computer and open an installation dialog. To perform a bulk installation on many computers, use the Windows installer tool via the MSIEXEC command line utility. It will install and activate copies of the iSpring program silently.
Syntax
msiexec /i Package Name Parameters
| Parameter | Description |
| LICENSEKEY | Your volume license key. |
| NAME | Your name. May vary from one computer to another. |
| COMPANY | The name of company that owns the license. |
Example:
msiexec /i ispring_suite_x64_10_0_0.msi /qn LICENSEKEY="M8HSH-44RH2-R1368-876X9-2981C-2T41Q-VHAKG-SD34G-6BN6P-8XQW4" NAME="Jon Stewart" COMPANY="Comedy Central"
Concurrent license
If you have a concurrent license, you can only install and activate the license server manually. The clients, however, can also be installed via the command line.
Example:msiexec /i ispring_suite_x64_10_0_0.msi /qn LICENSEKEY="M8HSH-44RH2-R1368-876X9-2981C-2T41Q-VHAKG-SD34G-6BN6P-8XQW4" COMPANY="Comedy Central" HOST=127.0.0.2 PORT=9979
Additional info
Please check the parameters before running a command. An error message will not be shown if you entered an incorrect License Key or Company Name. In this case start the installation process again.
Registration details will be saved even if there is no Internet connection. However, activation won’t be complete without an active connection.
To uninstall a product, execute msiexec /x Package Name Parameters. Program removal procedure is not fully automatic and will require a user response on every computer to uninstall and deactivate the license.
