If you did not authorize a client or standalone installation at the time of installation, you can do so at any time by launching the Navigator and clicking on License Manager, located in the Utilities Section.

To instead authorize the Lasergene software silently, follow these instructions:

  1. On the machine where the standalone/client software was installed, open a command prompt.
  1. Drag the installer executable into the command prompt to add the path. After the path, type a space, then add this text:


    If you are using a standalone key, add:

    -q -k xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx

    In place of the “x’s,” use the alphanumeric string from the My Licenses page of the DNASTAR website.


    If you are using an IP address, add:

    -q -l xx.xx.x.xxx

    In place of the “x’s,” use the IP address specified in the LasergeneClient'x' folder.


    Example of the final command:

    "C:\Program Files (x86)\DNASTAR\Lasergene 15\DNASTARLicenseManager.exe" -q -l 55.55.5.555
