Can the Altair License Manager (ALM) be installed without being prompted?
I would like to install the Altair License Manager (ALM) through Ansible. Is there a way to install ALM without being prompted for answers?

you can use the 'silent' install, where you provide a config file for the installation.
It is mentioned in the License manager documentation, available when you download it.

Thanks, I will have to look at the documentation closer. I missed it.
This is the document I am looking at.

Sorry. I might have mislead you.
The documentation for the license manager can be found in Altair Connect.
But, i'm not sure if it allows you to perform a silent installation.
LM-X documentation shows silent mode, but not 100% sure if this is also valid for Altair's version of LMX.

Thanks Adriano, I was able to sort it out. But not using that method. I found some **** here:
This is what worked.
I was able to do a silent install of the altair license manager. Generate a properties file using the -r flag.
bash altair_licensing_14.5.1.linux_x64.bin -r installer.properties (enter the responses)
That creates a file installer.properties and puts it in the same directory as the .bin file. Then run:
bash altair_licensing_14.5.1.linux_x64.bin -i silent
It will install with no input and start the license manager.Thanks for you input, it nudged me in the right direction.
