Provide documentation for command line parameters for SoftwareAuthorizationPro.exe

Please provide documentation for the command line parameters supported by SoftwareAuthorizationPro.exe.

There are a couple examples that show how to use SoftwareAuthorizationPro.exe to silently authorize Pro with Single Use licensing (e.g., Additional examples of a silent installation of ArcGIS Pro.) And by trial and error I did discover that one can use "-return all /s" to silently deauthorize Pro and all extensions. It would be helpful, however, to know what all the command-line options are.

Thanks, @MarkZollinger. I wasn't quite sure which page in the documentation to attach a comment too, so I took the Idea route. To be clear, I'm not looking for more examples to be included on the silent installation page, but rather the full documentation for SoftwareAuthorizationPro.exe to be provided.

Is a list of command line options available for SoftwareAuthorizationPro.exe? I'm trying to silently authorize, but I can't figure out how to pass the license file password.

SoftwareAuthorizationPro.exe -lif "path\to\licenseFile.eslf" <-- I assume the next switch would be for a password?
