Command line arguments to start OrCAD Capture with different license options?

johe

Is there any command line arguments for capture.exe (capture.exe -xxxxx) to start OrCAD Capture with different license options?  Something similar to 'Allegro.exe - orcad' that can start Allegro PCB Editor with OrCAD PCB Designer license (with overrides the default set).

I know I can always use 'File'->'Change Product...' to switch between different licenses but I am just wondering if command line option is available?

Thank  you.

    The only command line option to start Capture (CIS) is "-i" to set the location of the Capture.ini file, you cannot set which license is used from the command line.
