Activate InstallShield 2012 LE (limited version) on Team Build

As stated in the license agreement, "Flexera Software grants Licensee the right to install and use the software on one computer that will be used exclusively with Visual Studio and the right to install and use up to two (2) additional instances for use in Team Foundation Server environments."

The latter is exactly what I did: I installed InstallShield 2012 Limited Edition on a Team Build machine (Team Foundation System 2012), where there are no Visual Studio installations. Now I can correctly compile and build my solution containing the ISL project. The problem is that when you run the setup.exe built-in file, the message "This setting was created using the EVALUATION OF InstallShield VERSION" is displayed.

So the question is: how can I activate InstallShield 2012 Limited Edition on a Team Build machine where Visual Studio has not been installed?

You need to start license activation on your TFS build server.

for spring 2012 Installshield LE, an activation program can be found in C: \ Program Files (x86) \ InstallShield \ 2012SpringLE \ System \ TSConfig.exe

this will bring up a dialog box, and you can enter the activation code that they sent when you registered for InstallShield LE.

I assume that you are using "Offline Build" on the TFS build server? Installing a stand-alone assembly requires a license file (.lic). It can be obtained at the Products and Licensing Center at https://flexerasoftware.subscribenet.com .

During the installation of the offline assembly, it should ask you for a .lic file. If you did not have it during the installation, this created a trial installation.
