TestComplete Installation in Silent Mode

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.

  1. Is it expected behavior for TestComplete to prompt the user for a SmartBear ID after installing in silent mode?
  2. Is there any other way to pass the SmartBear ID in command-line arguments?
  • Yes it is an expected behavior, user will be prompted to provide credentials only the first time accessing TestComplete as described in 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.
