When you need to install and activate the full version of Concordance Image on numerous machines, you can save time by running silent installations. Silent installations use a Setup.iss (InstallShield® Silent response) file to automatically run installations without requiring any user input.
To install Concordance Image using a Setup.iss file, you will first need to create the file itself. This file only needs to be created once. When you are creating the Setup.iss file, you performing a normal Concordance Image installation, and record each step of the installation process. After the Setup.iss file is created, it can be used to install Concordance Image silently on any other machine.

Please check to ensure you are not exceeding your License Agreement when you are creating the Setup.iss file for installing Concordance Image. Enterprise Client Licenses are the only licenses that allow installing full Enterprise Network Licenses on multiple servers or workstations. |

When upgrading to the latest version of Concordance Image, you must uninstall the older version before proceeding with the installation. |
