Command line switches are parameters that you can add to the Portable License utility executable command line (plu250.exe for 2005-based products and plu26.exe for current products) to perform additional operations.
To use command line switches, you need to have a basic understanding of how to execute DOS commands.
|
Command line switch |
Definition |
|---|---|
|
/P:license_number |
Defines which product license you are going to import or export. You can view the license number in the Properties dialog box in the Portable License utility. |
|
/Q |
Runs the import/export operation in “quiet” mode. When the Portable License utility runs in quiet mode, error messages are not displayed during operations that do not require your interaction; only error codes are shown.
NOTE: If an error code is shown, do the operation again with the quiet mode switch disabled to view the corresponding error message. |
|
/I:transfer_code |
Displays the transfer code used to import a license. |
|
/E:identification_code |
Defines the computer identification code of the computer you want to export the license to. |
|
/N:instance_name |
Specifies a license by name to export when there is more than one exportable license available. |
|
/O:file_name |
Defines the file name and path of where the license file is written when exporting a license. If a file name is not specified in quiet mode, a transfer code is displayed in a console window. |
|
/L:language_identifier |
Uses the language given by language_identifier, if available. Defaults to the current locale, or to International English if no other language data can be located. |
