Software Deployment

License activation for UltraEdit Pro v26 can be done as follows:

Please note that you need an active internet connection for license activation! You may also need an interactive user session / standard user logon which is allowed to use the web (check proxy authentication). You may experience problems when you try to activate by batch script and your local system account does not have the privilege to surf the web.

x64 platform:

"%ProgramW6432%\IDM Computer Solutions\UltraEdit\uedit64.exe" /lic,e="YourLicenseID|YourPasswordHere"

x86 platform:

%programfiles(x86)%\IDM Computer Solutions\UltraEdit\uedit32.exe" /lic,e="YourLicenseID|YourPasswordHere"

IDM support in USA offers a special enterprise deployment kit that does not use node-locking server activation. That will allow you to have installation and one-time license activation for all clients and users in a single installation package. That's what you need for large enterprise deployment and especially in a Citrix Terminal Server environment. 
Disadvantages: 1) Costs 2) Usually you will NOT get such a license if you have less than 100 licenses! Please contact IDM support for more information.

If you have such a special license file procedure is as easy as that:

32-bit: msiexec /i ue_english_enterprise.msi ALLUSERS=1 /qn

64-bit: msiexec /i ue_english_enterprise_64.msi ALLUSERS=1 /qn

LicenseFileCopy_v.vbs uedit32e_v.spl ALLUSERS

 

-or-

 

32-bit: msiexec /i ue_english_enterprise.msi ALLUSERS="" /qn

64-bit: msiexec /i ue_english_enterprise_64.msi ALLUSERS="" /qn

 

LicenseFileCopy_v.vbs uedit32e_v.spl CURRENT_USER

 

If preferred the installer and license file copy script may be run from network locations with appropriate changes to the paths for each command.

 

When installed for "All Users", this enterprise build looks for the license file in the following locations:

%AllUsersProfile%\IDMComp\UltraEdit\license\uedit32e_v.spl

As written above such a enterprise license file is pre-activated for all users / computers and should be kept in a safe place!

Is the Ultraedit version 17 is an online registration? Because i cant register it if i have no internet connection. How can i register it without internet connection so when the user launch the shortcut, it is already registered.

Is the Ultraedit version 17 is an online registration? How can i make it preregistered through offline? I got no captured files/registries.

This will only work if you using the enterprise version installer. The command line I used successfully is ue_english.exe /s /f1"C:\Temp\ue_setup.iss" /v"LICENSEFILE=\"C:\Temp\ue.spl\"

uedit32.exe /lic,e="<LicenseID>|<Password>"

It could be that windows cannot find the uedit32.exe when you try to execute it. Does the command work when you manually run it in a cmd shell?
During your install, are you executing this command in a shell that has the current directory set to the path that contains uedit32.exe? or is the path part of the PATH environment variable?
If not, make sure when you execute the exe, that the shell's path is correctly set. You can use oShell.CurrentDirectory in VBS or pushd %~dp0 in a batch file.

i need to use MST, there's any way to make the registration work with that? unfortunately the internet registration process didnt capture anything locally (file/reg changes). i know its internet registration however if i disable internet the program will act as registered after without inet connection so it must change something locally, its weird i cant see any changes.. sigh the old .reg method could be easier a lot.

it is not related to this. iam trying this manually from the installdir and the uedit32.exe starts the application and the path message happens inside the application itself.

Are you SURE uedit.exe supports this /lic or /license (not sure which you're using) command line parameter?
I ask for 2 reasons. First, Rob's command line suggestion seems to involve the installer, and not the application itself. Secondly, the error you describe sounds to me like uedit.exe trying to open a file /lic,e="<LicenseID>|<Password>", and not finding it, which makes sense...

Besides this, I have no other suggestions I fear.

ye rob's told me its an installer only parameter, i've tried to run it after i've installed the product so its probably not usable for me.
found it there tho: http://www.appdeploy.com/packages/detail.asp?id=2186
so i need to find some other way for preregistriation because i need to use the msi+mst combo not the installer.

I too tried an MST on the publicly available installer and couldn't get it to silently install. Silent deployment of UltraEdit on an enterprise level (both installation and activation) requires a special enterprise/corporate deployment installer. You need to contact IDM support for a download link.

Rob: could you tell me the inside format of the .spl file ?
how exactly do u make / generate that?
thanks

It's a binary license file generated by IDM support.

The following is a quote to me from IDM about the license file:
To include the license activation as part of the installation, please use the attached license file, which is unique and specially created for your company. Please protect this license file! Rename the attached license file to "ue.spl". If you copy the license file to the same location as the installer, it will automatically be copied to the appropriate location on the user's system. Please note that this license file must be left in a writable state for this build to function properly.

Did you have any luck using the MSI/MST option and the registration.
I have this app right now, and would like to do MSI/MST, but don't have to.

Cheers

Within the MST, go to the MSI Script and add the following line.  I currently have this run during installation only.

• Execute Installed Program uedit32.exe Command Line /lic,e="<LicenseID>|<Password>"

You can also use a WiseScript to have the program launch with the Window Minimized as well.
