Automatic account login / PIX4Dmapper

Problem

• How do I automate the PIX4Dmapper login, which is required to verify a license seat?

Resolution

1. Open up the task scheduler and create a task
2. Set the account to use when running the task as the "Users" group
3. Set a trigger for the task to be run whenever a user logs in to the workstation
4. Set the command to be run
   • Browse for pix4dmapper.exe which should end up similar to: "C:\Program Files\Pix4Dmapper\pix4dmapper.exe" including quotations.
5. Then add the following command-line arguments in the Program/script box:
   • -c --email <email> --password <password>
6. The final result should be a an entry in the Program/script box that looks similar to:
   • "C:\Program Files\Pix4Dmapper\pix4dmapper.exe" -c --email <email> --password <password>
