Automating installation and licensing for VMs

Quick question ahead of purchase: we're planning to roll this RAM Disk out to a set of Virtual Machines (2-3 at the moment, so a 5-install license) and wanted to confirm if there is a mechanism for automatically installing and applying the license to the VMs (none of the VMs are manually configured and are rebuilt daily, so we can't manually install anything).
Regards,

Yes, RAM Disk installation and licence addition can be fully automated, including daily deployments:
- Download this zip archive with a config template.
- Extract the CONFIG.XML file, open it in any text editor like Notepad, and insert your licence key where indicated.
- Place ramdisk_setup.exe and CONFIG.XML in the same folder, and launch it with this command
ramdisk_setup.exe /SILENT /CONFIG=CONFIG.XML
We recommend trying these steps in a test environment first, to make sure everything works exactly as you expect.
This is the contents of that CONFIG.XML file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<ramdisk>
<config>
<useraccess>true</useraccess>
<locallinks>false</locallinks>
<trayicon>true</trayicon>
<license>
[b]INSERT LICENCE KEY HERE WITHOUT BOUNDARY MARKERS[/b]
</license>
<alloweject>true</alloweject>
</config>
<mount/>
<autorun/>
