Automated License Key Install

Hi,

Is it possible to provide the license key programatically using a command-line tool or option for NCover.Console.exe? Or is the only way to use the manual UI registration tool (NCover.Registration.exe)?

For example, we would like to automate the installation of NCover as part of our deployment process to our build servers and/or developers' workstations. I know with some components you can provide the license key as part of an .msi installation.

Thanks,

-eric

Ewong,

In the current release (2.0.2) NCover can only be registered through the NCover.Registration.exe UI. We hope to add the ability to automate the installation of NCover in our next release in the near future. When this feature becomes available, it will be listed in the New Features List.

Thanks,

Brad NCover Team

Did this ever get added? As part of our CI system, we need to create VMWare machines on-demand and perform web acceptance tests.

We need to be able to install NCover silently in order for this to work?

Thanks,

Matt

mmlaw75,

we don't yet have a way to do silent installs. If you have a machine image that has NCover already installed, will that work? You can do an automated registration: http://docs.ncover.com/kb/automating-ncover-registration/, but I'm not sure that's what you're looking for. The issue with installs is that windows requires admin approval for administrative actions, even when you're logged in as an Admin.
