Use Command Line Switches
Command line switches are parameters that
you can add to the Portable License utility executable command line
(plu250.exe for
2005-based products and plu26.exe for current products)
to perform additional operations.
To
use command line switches, you need to have a basic understanding
of how to execute DOS commands.
