Description
Holorouter Version
9.1
VCF Version
VCF 9.1
Target Type
Standalone ESX Host
Describe the bug
When trying to deploy v9.1 using -DeveloperMode, there is no proper way to have the Service ID/ Activation code for the Software Depot.
Reproduction steps

Expected behavior
To install correctly.
Relevant logs
Additional context
Workarround/Fix:
This does go against the unattended setup of DeveloperMode, (using a offline depot might make more sense for a unattended setup..)
