Hi,

According to the article - [https://www.wowza.com/docs/perform-a-silent-installation-of-wowza-streaming-engine](https://www.wowza.com/docs/perform-a-silent-installation-of-wowza-streaming-engine), we need to create server.license and admin.password file manually but when I tried out the silent installation, the two files were created automatically ?  
I used Wowza Installer version 4.8.5 (build 20200616153358).  
Apart from this, the content of the admin.password file are different than shown in the article.  
My admin.password file looks lik the following

# Admin password file (format [username][space][password][space][group])

# username password group|group

\*\*\*\*\* \*\*\*\*\* admin|advUser

is this the correct format for admin.password file ?
