How to hide product key page while installing SQL server 2012 ?

I need to hide the product key page while installing SQL server 2012 enterprise edition
I was trying to use the following command
Setup.exe /ACTION=Install /FEATURES=SQL /INSTANCENAME=Intuition /PID=<My product Key.
/IACCEPTSQLSERVERLICENSETERMS
The product key was applied , but the install screen is being shown with the Product key i have provided and it is in editable mode.
Is there any way i can hide this SQL server product key page ?
The reason is we are including SQL setup in our application and as per Microsoft policy we should not reveal the product key to user. If we are able to hide this from installing page , we can hide the installation command in some exe.
Note : Customers need fulfledged versions so we can't install SQLExpress.

Hello,
Could you try using /Q or /QS parameter?

  • Error while installing SQL Server 2012 X64 SP2,

    Error while installing SQL Server 2012 X64 SP2,
     When I installed the SQL Server 2012 X64 SP1, I got the attached error.
     What might be the issue here?
     Thank you
     Best

    Hello,
    Are you trying to install SQL Server on a compressed or encrypted drive? SQL Server won’t install on a drive/folder with these attributes.
    Are you trying to install SQL Server on a ReFS file system? It is not supported on SQL Server 2012.
    Disable any security/antivirus software and download the media again. Mount the media (.ISO file) and try to install again.
    Hope this helps.

  • NetFx3 error while installing SQL Server 2012 on windows 8 Pro

    I can't install SQL Server 2012 on my windows 8 Pro, every time I try I get this error: Error while trying to enable NetFx3 
    Can anyone help, please.

    Hi,
    Windows 8 does not include .NET 3.5 (include .NET 2.0 and 3.0) by default.
    1. We can make sure this feature is enabled by check in Program and Features.
    a. Go to Settings. Choose Control Panel then choose Programs.
    b. Click Turn Windows features on or off, and the user will see Windows feature window.
    c. You can enable this feature by click on .NET Framework 3.5 (include .NET 2.0 and 3.0) select it and click OK. After this step, it will download the entire package from internet and install the .NET Framework 3.5 feature.
    This option requires an Internet connection.
    2. As Alberto suggested, you can use the command to enable .NET Framework 3.5 (include .NET 2.0 and 3.0) feature in offline mode to avoid interruption before run SQL Server Setup.
    For your information:
    Installing the .NET Framework 3.5 on Windows 8 or 8.1

    If you are using any system account then password is not needed. From the screenshot I see NT Authority\....  so you don't need password.

  • Getting problem while installing Sql Server 2012

    I am using Windows 8 in my system. I am trying to install Sql Server 2012 in my system .
    But i am getting following error in the final.
    The required MSI package 'D:\SQL Server 2012\x86\setup\sql_engine_core_shared_msi' doesn't exist.
    Please, help me quickly.

    Hi,
    You post same question 3 times. Please avoid this practice on Forum, I 
    have merged the same thread  into this thread . Thanks for your understanding.
    In addition, as other post, you can copy the missing .msi file from the complete and unbroken installation media to your MSI package path. Then run as administrator again. And also check if your account has read and write permission for your installation
    media saving path. If the error still exists, you can check the SQL setup logs (Detail.txt and summary.txt) for analysis.
    There is similar issue about installing SQL Server failed due to miss the required MSI package.

    $command += ('/SQMREPORTING="0"')
    #Add Browser Account
    $command +=('/BROWSERSVCSTARTUPTYPE="Disabled"')
    #Add Backup path
    $command +=('/SQLBACKUPDIR="{0}"' -f $backuppath)
    Probably should be this:
    #set reporting to off
    $command += (' /SQMREPORTING="0"')
    #Add Browser Account
    $command +=(' /BROWSERSVCSTARTUPTYPE="Disabled"')
    #Add Backup path
    $command +=(' /SQLBACKUPDIR="{0}"' -f $backuppath)

  • Master Data Services not available under shared feature while installing SQL server 2012

    Hi,
    I am trying to install Master Data Services but do not see the option to select MDS under the shared features when going through the SQL server 2012 installation. I have the SQL server 2012 SP1 (64 bit) install files. I have also installed SP2. I havent
    found anything online about the issue.
    Can someone please advise?
    I have a screenshot of the installation screen which I will attach as soon as I am able to get my account verified. Thanks!

    Hi Revees,
    This might be a very naïve and also out of the original scope of the thread question.
    We are thinking of going with the developer edition. We have 2/3 developers and some other testers and business users.
    1) I understand that we need a developer license for each developer. But would we need a license for the business user. Can they have a sort of read access to the dbs?
    2) If a developer has MSDN subscription, Would they need to purchase the license too assuming we purchase the developer edition of the software (and not download it using the MSDN subscription)?
    Thanks for your assistance!

  • How to install sql server 2012 using the license of sql 2014

    Hello,
    We want to install sql server 2012 on a server because of an application that can not work with sql server 2014.
    We have a license for sql server 2014. The license is not visible for sql 2014 in our licenses because it is now included in the installation package. We also can not get a license key for SQL 2012 server now.
    How can we get a valid sql server 2012 license key?
    Thanks,
    Gr. Peter.
