Administrator permissions are needed to use the AXUpdateInstaller.

The error Administrator permissions are needed to use the AXUpdateInstaller occurs even if I use -devinstall option. Not sure how to install a ISV license package in the build machine. Build machine doesn't show all packages in LCS as well. Not sure how to proceed with this.

Using a 8.0 PU15 machine.

    Since the license is in the database, you could copy the AxDB database from another environment (where the license is already set) into your build system.

    Hi, thanks for the reply. That is what I'm trying to do now. Dev/Build machines have very less disk spaces and our db is huge. Creating a smaller version of DB so I can restore. I thought a simpler option would exist.

    Since you can also apply the license file as a deployable package, maybe you could try creating a deployable package that contains only the license file, and apply it into the build environment via LCS?

    Hi Nikolaos, as I mentioned in initial post, this is a build machine and build machines dont allow to select deployable packages in LCS.  Only binary packages and global data upgrade packages are allowed to be deployed through LCS

    HI,

    Build environments

    LCS does not allow AOT or license deployable packages to be installed on build environments.To work around this, remote into the VM and use the -devinstall option to install a license deployable package from the command line as described in the topic, Install deployable packages from the command line. This command line install works as of platform update 17.If you are running on a platform version that is older than platform update 17, and you do not have admin access to your build environment, create a support request and ask Microsoft to install your license deployable package.
