Q: Is there a way to install Xodo PDF Studio silently, for installations throughout an organization? We need to distribute Xodo PDF Studio to multiple computers.
A: Xodo PDF Studio can be installed and registered programmatically on user machines without requiring user input.
NOTE: The standard activation method does not require license key as product will be activated when user signs into their Xodo account. License keys are only for custom priced large corporate distributions.
