Starting from Omniscope 2.8, we have added the ability to activate/deactivate/refresh Omniscope silently, meaning you don't need to physically start the application on the machine to activate/deactivate/refresh your license.

This is designed to let Network Administrators activate/refresh/deactivate Omniscope by sending some commands to the Omniscope launcher.

How to silently install Omniscope:


  1. Start Command prompt
  2. Navigate to the directory that contains OmniscopeInstaller.exe
  3. Run the following command:

    "<path to executable>\OmniscopeInstaller.exe /S"

This will Omniscope install Omniscope silently.

How to silently activate Omniscope:


  1. Start Command prompt
  2. Navigate to the Omniscope installation directory. This is a directory where you find the Omniscope.exe and is located typically in:

    C:\Program Files (x86)\Visokio Omniscope
    OR
    C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Local\Visokio Omniscope app

  3. Run the following command:

    "<path to Omniscope.exe>\Omniscope_console.exe -activate xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx"


Replace the xxxx with the actual license key you are trying to activate. On running the command above, Omniscope will attempt to activate Omniscope silently and any confirmation or errors will be displayed on the console.

How to silently refresh Omniscope:


It is the same as the above process of trying to activate Omniscope, with the only difference being the command that you run:

"<path to Omniscope.exe>\Omniscope_console.exe -reactivate"

All confirmation and errors will be displayed on the console.

How to silently deactivate Omniscope:


It is the same as the above process of trying to activate Omniscope, with the only difference being the command that you run:

"<path to Omniscope.exe>\Omniscope_console.exe -deactivate"

All confirmation and errors will be displayed on the console.

Useful tip


The console Window will close once you Omniscope has terminated, therefore we suggest that you actually redirect all output to a text file to see what is happening. This can be done by simply using the following command at the end.

> [path to output]\output.txt

For example:

"<path to Omniscope.exe>\Omniscope_console.exe -deactivate" > c:\OmniscopeDeact.txt]]>
