    An internal tool for testing and using scan from command line exists (I think it's called bdc.exe), but it is not present in the product. The scan involves a lot of things (starting from the location, config files, defaults, user preferences, product options, cooperation with other installed features, caching, cloud communication, subscription, inner security which checks it to be run from the installation directory and so on and on). The scan is provided more like an API to be integrated in other products - including TS - but a command line client is not included AFAIK. It might be one in the business products, though, although I don't know for sure.
