Managing multi-user installations

VoceVista Pro for PC can be activated for the current user or for all users. By default it activates for the current user only. If another user signs in with a different local account, they will be prompted for the license key again. To install for all users, register it at installation time, or run the app as administrator when activating.

Note: the steps below require version 5.4.0.5245 or later. The installer file names in the examples are from that version; substitute the name of the installer you downloaded.

Activate during setup

When the app is activated through the installer it activates for all users, so new local users are not prompted for the key and cannot revoke the license. Open a command prompt (run cmd.exe) and change to the folder with the installer (for example, if it is in your Downloads folder):

cd %HOMEPATH%\Downloads

Then run the installer with the /activateKey= parameter:

setupVoceVistaVideoPro5.4.0.5245.exe /activateKey=id123456789012odr

Unattended setup

You can also run the installer from a script. Useful command-line parameters:

/SILENT: show the installer UI but don't wait for input.
/VERYSILENT: run without showing the installer window.
/SUPPRESSMSGBOXES: use default answers for overwrite prompts.
/LOG="logfilename": write the installation log to a file.

For example, to install and activate with no interaction and write a log:

setupVoceVistaVideoPro5.4.0.5245.exe /activateKey=id123456789012odr /VERYSILENT /SUPPRESSMSGBOXES /LOG="setupLog.log"

The script itself must run with administrative rights, otherwise a permissions prompt still appears when the installer starts.

Activate through the UI

When VoceVista starts unactivated it prompts for the activation key. Run without administrative rights, the activation is for the current user only. To activate for all users, run it as administrator: right-click the VoceVista Pro desktop icon, choose Run as administrator, then enter the activation key.
