TestComplete Installation in Silent Mode

Question

I have a doubt about installing TestComplete software in silent mode. We currently have an SLM ID license with us, and we are able to install TestComplete in silent mode using command-line arguments. However, after installation, TestComplete prompts us to enter a SmartBear ID (email and password) to activate the license.Is it expected behavior for TestComplete to prompt the user for a SmartBear ID after installing in silent mode?Is there any other way to pass the SmartBear ID in command-line arguments?

Refer to https://support.smartbear.com/testcomplete/docs/general-info/installing/installing-in-silent-mode.html and option -SLM
and also, https://support.smartbear.com/testcomplete/docs/working-with/integration/azure/test-adapter/ms-hosted-agents.html , https://support.smartbear.com/testcomplete/docs/licensing/id-based/private-networks/index.html and https://support.smartbear.com/testcomplete/docs/licensing/id-based/index.html&nbsp;

Yes it is an expected behavior, user will be prompted to provide credentials only the first time accessing TestComplete as described in&nbsp;https://support.smartbear.com/testcomplete/docs/licensing/id-based/index.html section "Activate ID-based licensing during installation"
Since the SmartBear ID consist of specific user account credentials (email and password) there is no command-line argument to pass the ID, and I personally do not think it make sense to pass such individual unique user credentials in generic installation command line.
