Rapidminer activation via command line

asweetnam

We are deploying RapidMiner via image on a series of lab machines at our college and have been unable to activate it properly except on the original machine. We need a method to activate it either via command line or script. Any suggestions?

Hi @asweetnam,

You can try the following steps to activate RapidMiner on numerous lab machines:

1. First, ensure that the RapidMiner license key is current and valid for multiple installations.

2. Next, try launching RapidMiner from the command line by doing the following steps:

• Launch the Command Prompt or Terminal application.
• Navigate to the RapidMiner installation directory.
• Run the command 'RapidMiner.exe -register license_key>'.
• Replace '<license_key>' with the RapidMiner license key.

3. If the command line activation approach fails, you can use a script to activate RapidMiner on several machines. Here's an example PowerShell script:

<div>bash
$licenseKey = "<your_license_key>"</div><div>$rmPath = "<RapidMiner_installation_path>"</div><div><br></div><div>cd $rmPath</div><div><br></div><div>& .\RapidMiner.exe -register $licenseKey</div>

• Replace '<your_license_key>' with the RapidMiner license key.
• Replace '<RapidMiner_installation_path>' with the real RapidMiner installation path.

4. Protect the script as a '.ps1' file and activate it on each lab computer.

I hope this information assists you in activating RapidMiner on multiple lab machines.

Will this also work for Rapidminer Studio or is there another command?
