Langmeier Backup: Installing volume licenses

If you wish to install Langmeier Backup on multiple computers, you can streamline the process by utilizing the Silent Setup feature in combination with the automatic activation of your volume license. This approach enables you to efficiently deploy Langmeier Backup across your devices with minimal manual intervention.

Silent Setup

The Silent Setup allows you to install Langmeier Backup without any user interaction, making it ideal for large-scale or unattended installations.

To perform a Silent Setup, please follow these steps:

  1. Run the Langmeier Backup installer with the following command-line parameters:

    langmeier-backup-en.exe /s /v/qn

    This command initiates the installation process in silent mode, ensuring that no prompts or dialogs appear during setup.

Activation of the Volume License

If you possess a volume license for Langmeier Backup, you have the option to automatically activate all installations using your license key. This further simplifies the deployment process across multiple systems.

To enable automatic activation, proceed as follows:

  1. Remove all hyphens from your license key.
  2. Save the license key (without hyphens) in the following registry entry:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Langmeier Software\Langmeier Backup\app\v9regkey

    Note: For 32-bit operating systems, please omit the Wow6432Node subfolder.
  3. To activate the license without user interaction, set the following registry value to 1:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Langmeier Software\Langmeier Backup\AutoActivation

    Note: Again, for 32-bit systems, omit the Wow6432Node subfolder.

By following these steps, you can efficiently deploy and activate Langmeier Backup across your organization, saving valuable time and ensuring a consistent setup on all devices.
