Activating FotoStation using a logon script
This article explains how you can activate FotoStation clients using a logon script.
Note: The FotoWare Application Activation Wizard has been superseded by the fwlicensetool for managing activations. For information on how to obtain this tool and use it to manage software activation from the command prompt, see Command line activation of FotoWare applications using fwlicensetool.
Considerations when deploying FotoStation
When rolling out a number of FotoStation Client installations in a network environment, it can often be useful to automate the license activation on each computer using a logon script. This can be done by creating a logon script that runs on every computer where FotoStation has been installed. The software installation can also be automated using, for example, Active Directory deployment, in which case you can also have the installer activate the client software for you by modifying the MSI package.
For information about creating a logon script, see Microsoft Windows documentation.
FotoWare License Tool is a command-line activation utility that can be used to manage the activation of all FotoWare applications via the command line.

Defining proxy settings

--proxy <proxyserver:port>
