Note
The Fotoware Application Activation Wizard has been superseded by the fwlicensetool for managing activations. For information on how to obtain this tool and use it to manage software activation from the command prompt, see Command line activation of Fotoware applications using fwlicensetool.
Considerations when deploying Fotostation
When rolling out several Fotostation Client installations in a network environment, automating license activation on each computer with a logon script can be useful. This can be done by creating a logon script on every computer where Fotostation has been installed. The software installation can also be automated using, for example, Active Directory deployment, in which case the installer can activate the client software for you by modifying the MSI package.
For more information about creating a logon script, see Microsoft Windows documentation.
Fotoware License Tool is a command-line activation utility that can be used to manage the activation of all Fotoware applications via the command line.
Activate the software with the specified license key.
--activate <license key>
Deactivate the software with the specified license key.
--deactivate <Fulfillment ID | License key | "all">
Repair a damaged, activated license with the specified license key. This may be necessary if hardware has been added to or removed from the computer.
--repair <license key>
Defining proxy settings
In environments where a proxy server is used for outgoing internet access, you must define the proxy setting as well.
--proxy <proxyserver:port>
