EA from the Command Line

[philchudley]

Hi All

Does anyone know if it is possible to give the filepath of the floating license store as a parameter to ea.exe in much the same way as you can give the filepath of a ea project file?

for example

ea.exe %1 %2

Where %1 is the filepath of the project (or connection string)
and %2 is the filepath of the floating license store

Cheers and thanks

No, it's not possible.

You can overcome it by manipulating the registry. we use the following command:

reg add "HKCU\Software\Sparx Systems\EA400\EA\OPTIONS" /v AutoCheckoutSharedKeyArray /t REG_BINARY /d 02 /f

reg add "HKCU\Software\Sparx Systems\EA400\EA\OPTIONS" /v SharedKeyFolder /t REG_SZ /d "C:\PATH\_licence" /f

Thanks am I correct in assuming that the path after /d in the last reg entry is the file path to the shared licence store?

Yes, you are right
