# Description

This feature is available beginning with AccuTerm 8 release 8.0.

Note: Please ensure these fields are filled correctly.

ALLUSERS=Y

AUTOACTIVATE=Y

AUTOUPGRADE=Y

LICENSEKEY=xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx

KEYTYPE=1

The AUTOACTIVATE, LICENSEKEY & KEYTYPE fields only make sense when using device licensing.

The setup.ini file needs to be in the same directory as the installer.exe. You can use whatever mechanism you have for automated installation. Use the /VERYSILENT command line switch when invoking the installer unattended.
