Installshield Limited Edition licencing on build server

I have recently installed Installshield LE on my local PC for vs2010, built a package and now wanting it to be built on our build server. I have also installed it on our build server.

I am getting the error:

error : -7159: The product license has expired or has not yet been initialized.

I have logged onto the build server, started vs and entered in my licence code. However, this has has not resolved the error.

I have read about the stand alone version but that appears to be only available for premium edition. Anyone have any ideas?

What is InstallShield limited edition?

InstallShield Limited Edition for Visual Studio provides a small subset of the world-class functionality found in our other InstallShield editions. Many of the features our InstallShield customers love are locked and unavailable in your InstallShield Limited Edition.

How do I check my InstallShield license?

Select the Configure InstallShield to get license information from a license server option and then click the Next button. InstallShield displays the Specify License Server dialog.

Is there a free version of InstallShield?

The best free alternative to InstallShield is Inno Setup, which is also Open Source.

if you are using the 2012 Spring edition of Installshield LE run the license activator on the build server at :

C:\Program Files (x86)\InstallShield\2012SpringLE\System\TSConfig.exe

The location may be different for other versions of Installshield LE.

You should be able to use the same activation code they sent you when you signed up for the Installshield LE, according to the license it allows for installation on more than one machine for automated build purposes.

InstallShield has online activation. You'll need to request multiple license keys and activate them on different machines.
