If hundreds of protected USB-Sticks have to be produced, an automated process is required. The Enterprise Edition comes with a tool, which supports an automated process.
The tool can be found on the folder ..\Multimedia Protector Premium\3.0\usb-stick duplication
This application has no user interface. The main purpose is to activate the copy protection on the USB-Stick without any user interaction.
The simplest way to use the application cpautomation.exe is to use a .BAT file. If you start the application without any command line parameters, you get a list of all available command line parameters.
As the application has no user interface, it needs command line parameters. The values in red are required values

Create a new folder and copy the following files into this folder.
•all files from the folder Deploy (e.g. autorun.info, flash-demo.lic, flash-demo.exe, flash-demo.mmf)
•the XML file from the folder Config (e.g. flash-demo.xml)
If an external company is doing the USB-Stick duplication using this application, send them this folder. They would have to buy the Enterprise Edition.
Now copy all the files from the folder ..\Multimedia Protector Premium\3.0\usb-stick duplication to this folder
•cpautomation3.0.exe
•cpautomation.lic
•cpautomation.bat
The file cpautomation.bat defines the process. Normally this is:
•Copy the files to the USB-Stick
•Activate copy protection for the USB-Stick
You can modify this bat file and adapt it to your USB-Stick duplication facility.
If you are familiar with batch files, use example 2, otherwise edit the file cpautomation.bat and modify it like example 1.
Example 1
copy autorun.info m:
copy flash-demo.lic m:
copy flash-demo.exe m:
copy flash-demo.mmf m:
cpautomation3.0.exe -p flash-demo.xml -f m:\flash-demo.lic -n 5
You could also start the cpautomation.bat using command line parameters. Then you do not have to change the bat file for every project.
cpautomation.exe flash-demo m: 5 (project name, drive name of the USB-Stick, number of licenses)
Example 2
copy autorun.info %1
copy %1.lic %2
copy %1.exe %2
copy %1.mmf %2
cpautomation3.0.exe -p %1.xml -f %2\%1.lic -n %3
Useful commands for batch files
•To delete all files within a folder: ECHO Y | DEL "m:\*.*"
•To delete a specific folder: ECHO Y | RMDIR /s "foldername"
•Stop the batch script to check results: PAUSE
This feature is available only in the Multimedia Protector Enterprise Edition.
