Re: Help with scripting install (need to avoid license popup)

You can use the "silent mode installer" option of Sun GlassFish
Enterprise Server. After the install, the bits (jar files) are all the
same. Plus, if you need to purchase subscription support later, you
will already have the supported bits installed.

Hope this helps.
