Can install FMS with your own license by adding:

$licenseCertContents = @" 
TODO: replace this line with your certificate file contents
"@
# add this line right before Start-Process:
[System.IO.File]::WriteAllLines((Join-Path (Split-Path $setupPath -Parent) "LicenseCert.fmcert"), $licenseCertContents) # don't use Out-File because it creates utf8 with BOM
