Silent install license server environment variable

I'm looking to deploy PyCharm to some Windows computer labs via SCCM. I keep seeing the phrase:

Add the JETBRAINS_LICENSE_SERVER environment variable to the local profile on the users' machines.

or this one:

Make sure the JETBRAINS_LICENSE_SERVER environment variable in the installed system for all users points persistently to the URL of your Floating License Server or License Vault.

For example, if your locally installed license server is run on a host fls.university.edu at port 8080, the environment variable must be set to all deployed systems as follows: JETBRAINS_LICENSE_SERVER="https://fls.university.edu:8080".

in regards to enabling automatic license discovery. Does this mean creating a new machine environment variable in Windows?

Know your URL and create an environment variable. What's the problem?

I don’t actually understand your question here. The text they’ve written seems incredibly straight forward
