SigmaPlot 16-15 Silent Installation Guide

Updated

Sigmaplot 16-15 Silent Installation

MSI Installer

You can run the SigmaplotInstaller.msi directly from a command line window opened in administrator mode (Right-click > Run as...).

The MSI file is part of the Silent Install Tool package (zip file):

https://grafiti.com/network-users/

 

The following silent installation command line script has been tested successfully and on multiple supported operating systems.

2A. Install

If the SigmaPlot 16 MSI file exists in a C drive folder (e.g. c:\SigmaPlot16\SigmaplotInstaller.msi), then the following silent installation script could be used:

msiexec /i c:\SigmaPlot16\SigmaplotInstaller.msi CMDLINE="SILENT=TRUE ALLUSERS=TRUE USERNAME=SigmaUser SERIALNUMBER=775xxxxxx INSTALLPATH=$PROGRAMFILES$Sigmaplot\SPW16" /qb

Replace 775xxxxxx with your serial number.

 

Script which installs SigmaPlot 15 in the “Program Files (x86)” folder:

msiexec /i c:\SigmaPlot15\SigmaplotInstaller.msi CMDLINE="SILENT=TRUE ALLUSERS=TRUE USERNAME=SigmaUser SERIALNUMBER=775xxxxxx INSTALLPATH=$PROGRAMFILES$Sigmaplot\SPW15" /qn

Replace SigmaUser with your organisation name, and 775xxxxxx with your serial number.

 

2B. Uninstall

For uninstallation, the msiexec /x switch can be used.

msiexec /x c:\SigmaPlot16\SigmaplotInstaller.msi CMDLINE="SILENT=TRUE ALLUSERS=TRUE USERNAME=SigmaUser SERIALNUMBER=775xxxxxx INSTALLPATH=$PROGRAMFILES$Sigmaplot\SPW16" /qn

Note

  • Please note that all the fields are mandatory for MSI install/uninstall.
  • MSI-based Silent uninstallation will only work if SigmaPlot has been installed in silent mode through MSI.

2C. Activation

A separate license utility tool activates SigmaPlot XX from a command line, similar to the license utility displayed in SigmaPlot.

Name of the Tool: SPW_XX_LicenseUtility_cmd.exe, available in the SPWXX program directory.
It needs cpprest120_xp_2_9.dll, hasp_windows_107466.dll, and haspds_windows.dll (in the same directory). So, this tool must be executed from the SPW15 program directory.

Command lines

  • SPW_XX_LicenseUtility_cmd.exe CMDLINE="LICENSETYPE=PRODUCTKEY KEY=xxxx LOGFOLDERPATH=zzzz"
  • SPW_XX_LicenseUtility_cmd.exe CMDLINE="LICENSETYPE=V2CFILE FILE=yyyy LOGFOLDERPATH=zzzz"

XX = 16 or 15

Parameters in the above syntax

  • /? Displays the expected license apply syntax. This is the same as not typing any options.
  • CMDLINE: This is a mandatory beginning keyword followed by valid license arguments.
  • LICENSETYPE: This refers to the license type being applied, either by product key or v2c file.
  • PRODUCTKEY: This keyword for LICENSETYPE mentions that the applied license type is product key.
  • V2CFILE: This keyword for LICENSETYPE mentions that the applied license type is a v2c file.
  • KEY: This is a keyword followed by the supplied product key.
  • FILE: This is a keyword followed by the supplied v2c file path location.
  • LOGFOLDERPATH: This is a keyword followed by a log file path, which will be generated during the applicable license process.
  • xxxx: This variable refers to the provided license product key.
  • yyyy: This variable refers to the physical location of the given v2c file in the license applying machine.
  • zzzzz: This variable refers to the physical location of the log file directory path in the license applying machine.

Examples

  • SPW_16_LicenseUtility_cmd.exe CMDLINE="LICENSETYPE=PRODUCTKEY KEY=XXXXX-XXXXXX-XXXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX LOGFOLDERPATH=C:\TEST"
  • SPW_16_LicenseUtility_cmd.exe CMDLINE="LICENSETYPE=V2CFILE FILE=E:\Sigmaplot\SPW_MI_SA_P.v2c LOGFOLDERPATH=C:\TEST"

License Manager Silent Installation

A separate document with complete details on the License Manager installation is available separately. This document mentions a short procedure to support the silent installation of the license manager. Please refer to the detailed document to manage the license manager.

Sigmaplot license manager can be installed through the SigmaPlot license utility (Recommended) and direct command-line installation tool (Haspdinst.exe).

The License Manager can be installed silently by opening a command-line window with administrative rights on the License Manager machine (Right-click > Run as Administrator).

The License Manager installation files are included in the SPW_15_Net.zip file, which can be downloaded from the https://systatsoftware.com/networkusers/ page. The command-line installation file called haspdinst.exe is part of the package.

There is also a copy of the file in the program directory of the SigmaPlot 15 installed folder. Please copy it to a directory on the License Manager machine.

General Syntax

  • haspdinst.exe/i - to install Sigmaplot License Manager.
  • haspdinst.exe/r - to remove Sigmaplot License Manager.

Note

  • The SigmaPlot license manager can be administered using the link http://localhost:1947 after installing the license manager on the server machine.
  • The network license for Sigmaplot needs to be activated on the license manager for the client to access the license.
  • Network license can be activated in silent mode through the same activation tool, follow the same procedure. Alternatively, the network license can be activated through License Utility UI.
