SUMMARY
When you install Commerce Server using the command line, the Product Identification Number (PID) switch and value must be provided to prevent being prompted for the PID in the user interface.



MORE INFORMATION
When you install Commerce Server by using the silent mode installation from the command line, include the PIDKEY switch on the command line: PIDKEY=

Failure to include the PIDKEY switch results in the installation process prompting for the PID in the user interface setup.

NOTE: You must enter the PID without dashes. For example:

PIDKEY=AAAAABBBBBCCCCCDDDDDEEEEE For additional information about the installation of Microsoft Commerce Server 2000, refer to the setup documentation at:
