INSTALL AND REGISTER THE TDA WITH A REGISTRATION KEY
msiexec.exe /i TDASetup_8..xxx.msi MGMTURI=https://support.thinscale.com MGMTREGISTRATIONKEY=1b0a97c95e364eb19941608e15c79980c55415eca319400893d126fb7e49b736
msiexec.exe /i TDASetup_8..xxx.msi MGMTURI=https://support.thinscale.com MGMTREGISTRATIONCODE= FZBSp9JaHA
RE-REGISTER TDA
(commonly used to migrate a TDA device to another server, or to change the registration key it's using)
C:\Program Files\ThinScale\TDA>TDA.Update.exe /REGISTER MGMTURI=https://support.thinscale.com MGMTREGISTRATIONKEY=1b0a97c95e364eb19941608e15c79980c55415eca319400893d126fb7e49b736
Note: with the above registration script, a progress window will be shown and then the user will be prompted to click “Reboot” to complete the process. If you'd like to have it run silently with no window and have it automatically reboot when finished, please just add /silent e.g.
C:\Program Files\ThinScale\TDA>TDA.Update.exe /REGISTER MGMTURI=https://support.thinscale.com MGMTREGISTRATIONKEY=1b0a97c95e364eb19941608e15c79980c55415eca319400893d126fb7e49b736 /silent
