You want to figure out where the serial number is stored and include
the serial number file in your package. Sometimes this will be in /
Library/Preferences/ and other times it might be in each user's
Library/Preference. In the case of the later you would have to walk
through all the user accounts with a postflight script that would put
the serial number in each home directory.
If you are on Tiger then an easy way to see where the serial number
would be written would be fseventer. It can watch filesystem changes
as they happen. So you can launch the app and register it and watch
what files are changing. Then sift through what has changed to find
the file. Then look at the file in TextEdit to see what is in it.
With the new binary plists in tiger if the file is a ".plist" file
then view it with the Plist Editor that is in /Applications/Developer/
Applications/ if you have Xcode installed.

I'm using a program called Iceberg v1.1.6 to make installation
packages.
I make my package just fine, and the package installs just fine.
The problem is when I launch the application that the package
installed
It asks for a serial number. Is there a way I can build a package
Where when I install it, the serial number is integrated into the
package?
I'm very new at making packages, so any help would be greatly
appreciated.
Thank you very much
