Problem:

Don't want to silently install the base release but have the latest service pack installed in the process.

Resolution:

Currently the only way would be to put the following steps in a bat file, need to create the runtime files to be copied, easiest way is to install lastest service pack on a machine and use this as the basis for files which need to be copied.

1.  copy runtime files and set path

(when running a deployed application, will have to ensure that path  is set to point to these runtime files)

2.  set up a new license database

    a. Create a directory to contain the new license database, if necessary.

    b. Copy into that directory the files prodfile and semfile from application server folder

    c. Run the aslmpclocate utility as follows:

              aslmpclocate license-db-path

Where license-db-path is the path of the license database.

ex.     aslmpclocate d:\\my license database

The license database is created when you install the first ES or AS license.

3.  install license silently

aslmpcsilent function serial# license#

function

Use 1 to install the license only if no other licenses are already installed.

          Use 2 to install the license, even if other licenses are already installed
