Automated license activation, without GUI

Automated license activation, without GUI   09 June 2026, 21:48

Hello, we have an OEM license and, after updating to RAM Disk v26.4, we can no longer activate it by copying a ramdisk.xml file to the "C:\ProgramData\SoftPerfect\RAM Disk" folder. I can activate it via the GUI, but we need an automated solution for the installation, configuration and activation. How can we activate it with the new version and without the GUI?

In version 26.4 licensing has been moved into the driver. Instead of copying the XML file, please use the following registry file or set the value using your deployment tools:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\SPVVEngine\Options]
"License"="YOUR-LICENSE-KEY-HERE-AS-A-SINGLE-LINE-WITHOUT-MARKERS"
You will also see it there after entering the licence in the GUI.
