Retrieve File Installation Key From Network License Manager

We have a Flex License Manager server. I need to begin pushing installations out silently.

I need to get the File Installation Key and I am wondering if that information can be pulled from

the license manager? If so, where do we find it on the license manager server?

Thanks for the help!

No, FIK cannot be retrieved from the license server.

However, FIK is used for the case of individual activation, and is not needed if you are using network licenses: if you are a flexlm server handling the licenses then what you need is to populate the network license file, if I recall correctly.

Walter appreciate the help. I think you telling me that I cannot get the FIK off of the license server is one of the biggest things I needed.

However, according to everything I have read, the FIK is needed for installations regardless of if it's offline or not and wether using a license server or not. According to the install guide (attached), page 10 states that you need to input the FIK in the response file.

Thanks again!
