How do I activate via command line?

DocsPlus Menu

After DocsPlus has been installed, the license will activate automatically when it is first run (as long as there is an Internet connection). If there has been a problem with this and you would like to activate installations before they are used, follow the instructions below.

Resolution

Activation is performed by CrickActivate.exe in the software's Program Files folder.

It connects to activate.cricksoft.com/activate via HTTPS (Port 443).

You can use a logon script, Scheduled Task, Group Policy, or similar to run this program via command line on each workstation.

The following parameters must be used:

-serial   Your serial number (see examples).
-silent   The activation attempt won't display any messages.

The following parameters can be used if required:

-proxy   The address of a proxy server.
-user     The username to use when accessing the proxy server.
-pass     The password to use when accessing the proxy server.

DOCSPLUS EXAMPLE

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Crick Software\DocsPlus\CrickActivate.exe" -silent -serial "DXXXX XXXXX XXXXX XXXXX" -proxy "10.0.0.254:8888" -user "myusername" -pass "mypassword"
