IMPORTANT: this is not tested yet - after testing it, we will put it in the silent install article
1. Silent download
Downloading updates as a sysadmin
Start the download manager (Lumion_2024_4_x_Download.exe), meaning the file downloaded for the Lumion Account with the following arguments
-t or --sysadmindownload :: needs to be given to activate sysadmin downloader
-r or --sysadminactivationcode :: valid activation code to be able to download any updates
-y or --sysadminupdatepath :: path to folder where the updates will be saved (can be local or a network location
-w or --sysadminproduct :: product type PRO, STANDARD, TRIAL, or STUDENT
-x or --sysadminversion :: Major of the Lumion version. (23, 24, 25 etc)
This will download all available updates for the selected major version of Lumion.
Example for a shortcut:
"G:\Downloads\Lumion_2024_4_0_Download.exe" "--sysadmindownload" "--sysadminactivationcode" "12345679" "--sysadminupdatepath" "D:\\Temp\\LumionUpdater" "--sysadminproduct" "PRO" "--sysadminversion" "24"
2. Silent install
Installing updates as a sysadmin - once the updates are downloaded using the Download Manager you can deploy the installation by running the update000.exe located in the installation folder of Lumion.
Start the update000.exe with the following arguments
-j or --sysadmininstall :: need to be given to activate sysadmin installer
-n or --sysadminupdatepath :: location with the stored updates
-m or --sysadminupdatetoversion :: System admin install update to version (major, minor, patch, beta)
Example for a shortcut/CMD/.bat
"C:\Program Files\Lumion 2024\update000.exe" "--sysadmininstal" " --sysadminupdatepath" "D:\\Temp\\LumionUpdater" "--sysadminupdatetoversion" "24.4.2"
In short, in the first step you are downloading the available updates. In the second step you are telling the Lumion updater up to which version it needs to update.
