You should use use the setup command to install Maya.  There is no need to use command line parameters.  If you want to do it, you  can review this blog post:

Thank you for the reply. According to the 2014 SP3 Release Notes, the existing Maya application needs to be uninstalled prior to installing SP3. The directions for uninstalling state that after dragging the Maya folder to the trash, the product key needs to be removed from the system by running the adlmreg command. The link you posted was for Installing Maya 2014 on the Mac via Command Line.

Delete Maya the easy way....

Please not that the instructions are ideal if you do NOT have AutoCAD Mac and Smoke on the same computer as Maya.  The adlmreg will basically take out the Maya entry from the .pit file.  If you do NOT have AutoCAD or Smoke installed, it's safe to delete files/folders as noted above.

 

More info on Productinformation.pit file is noted here:

Why is it that Autodesk doesn't just wrap an uninstaller into the Maya app?
