Promethean has historically facilitated silent deployment by providing an MSI (Microsoft Installer) package within the standard executable installer. The MSI is the core component for silent deployment on Windows operating systems. To perform a silent install of ActivInspire, an administrator first extracts the MSI from the downloaded EXE file using a command like:

ActivInspire.exe /extract

Once extracted, the primary installation command, executed with elevated privileges, takes a standard form:

msiexec /i "ActivInspire.msi" /qn /norestart

In this command:

However, a basic silent install is often insufficient for a production environment. Administrators typically need to supply a license key and set default preferences. This is achieved through public properties passed on the command line or via an MST (Microsoft Transform) file. A more robust command might resemble:

msiexec /i "ActivInspire.msi" /qn ACTIV_LCK_KEY="XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX" INSTALLDIR="C:\Promethean"

This command silently installs the software, applies a valid license key, and changes the installation directory from the default. Advanced deployments may also use a transform file (/t file.mst) to configure default toolbars, resource locations, or disable automatic update prompts—essential for locked-down exam environments.

Find the product code (once per version):

wmic product where "name like 'ActivInspire%%'" get IdentifyingNumber

Then uninstall:

msiexec /x PRODUCT-CODE-GUID /qn

A silent install (or unattended install) is the process of running an installer without a graphical user interface (GUI). The software installs in the background, consuming no screen real estate and requiring no mouse clicks or license key entries.

Get-Process -Name "ActivInspire" -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue | Stop-Process -Force

Find the ProductCode first (using wmic product get name, identifyingnumber or registry), then:

msiexec /x PRODUCT-CODE-GUID /qn /norestart

Or if the MSI is available:

msiexec /x "ActivInspire.msi" /qn /norestart

SNMP Network-based UPS management

SNMP adapters are communication extensions for the monitoring of UPS devices via the network or web.

If needed, a phased shutdown of all relevant servers in the network is possible. Via Wake- up-on-LAN, the servers can be re-activated. This enables an automated shutdown and reboot of the system. The UPS can also be configured and monitored by network management software with the integrated SNMP agent according to RFC1628.

The PRO and mini version of the SNMP adapter further enables the integration of features such as area access control, air condition or smoke and/or fire detectors. In addition, temperature and humidity can be measured and administered by means of optical sensors. The SNMP PRO adapter enables, among other features, the connection of an intelligent load management distributor.
