By | January 15, 2020

Installing 2019 Volume licenses can be a challenge. Here is the procedure.

    1. 2019 Requires Windows 10
    2. Build an XML file (see example)
    3. From CMD as admin Run to these:

setup /download Projectx64.xml
setup /configure Projectx64.xml
  • Future installations are done with just the configure switch.
