How to apply a license with a P2 install

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

Such a great idea to use the P2 install. Thank you for that. But apart from the settings (idea https://ideas.ibm.com/ideas/IDZ-I-2222) it would be good to distribute the license automatically with install as well. (Or are they included in a workspace?)


We have a floating licence configured and the IDz running on a terminal server for multiple users to use. So installing with the first use is not an option since the users do not have the neccessary information and access rights. It needs to happen automatically with the install. And our installation routine (with P2) is silent and unattended.


At the moment I prepare an installation for the target computer and I have tested it: Just configuring a license while doing that is not working. So question is: How to make the IDz on the target computer aware of the license in an unattended and autmated way?
