Silent installation does not support updating license keys after install

Last published : Jun 12, 2026
You can install SFWor SFW HA using either the product installer or the command line interface (for a silent installation).
Both installation methods enable you to specify license keys during product installation. The product installer also includes the functionality to update license keys after installation. However, the command line interface used in a silent installation does not support updating license keys after an installation.
To add license keys after a silent installation using the CLI, you use the vxlicinst utility located on the SFW HA product DVD:
