Automated License Key Installation for PRTG Traffic Grapher
In some situations (e.g. for automated software distribution) it may be desirable to enter and store a license key for PRTG automatically. There are two options to do this.
There are two options to apply a license key for a PRTG Traffic automatically:
Option 1: Using an INI file
Upon startup PRTG's exe looks for an INI file with the name "prtg traffic grapher.ini" with a [license] section that contains the key as follows:
[LICENSE]
Key=yourname, yourkey
If this file is found the license key is applied to the program.
Option 2: Using the command-line
Open a command prompt, change into the PRTG directory using "cd" and run the commandline shown below to write the license key to the registry
c:
cd "\program files\prtg traffic grapher"
"prtg traffic grapher.exe" QUIETREGISTER yourname, yourkey
