| # Site Deployment for IT Administrators
> This section provides useful information for IT administrators wishing to deploy DreamCalc installations on multiple workstations. ## Installation using a Batch Script It is possible to install DreamCalc and register license details using a batch script. Example script:
>     .\dcg_setup.exe /SILENT
>     "C:\Program Files\DreamCalc DC4G\dreamcalc.exe" /register "Shermer High School" 0123-4567-89AB-CDEF
> The first line launches the installer with the '/SILENT' option causing confirmation dialogs to be suppressed. The installer will deploy DreamCalc to a default location in the "Program Files" directory. The actual location will depend on the edition of software you are installing and may vary in the future. You should confirm the actual location yourself. Alternatively, you may define the target directory yourself from the command line using the /DIR="x:\dirname" option. For example:
>     .\dcg_setup.exe /SILENT /DIR="C:\Program Files\DreamCalc"
The second line in the example script invokes the DreamCalc executable with a '/register' option followed by your license name and key. Your license name will typically include spaces and should be enclosed in quotes. If the license details are valid, DreamCalc will silently register the software. If the license details are invalid, however, registration will fail silently, so you should check that the process works by examining the DreamCalc About Box after a test installation. ## Disk Image Deployment It is also possible to install DreamCalc on a source machine and to create a disk image for deployment to other multiple workstations. In this case, you should install DreamCalc normally and input the license key prior to creating the disk image. See also: Registration & License Key Entry |
