Hi,
Thanks for the fast response.
I think that's OK for our 3D libraries because they're
all encrypted and won't be installed unless the
licensing exists on the target system. You can set-up
ARD to also install the licensing - if not it will
skip the libraries. All of our other products can be
installed with ARD and I've tested that and it works -
they either don't run without the licensing or they
run in evaluation mode if the licensing isn't there.
The part that I can't figure out is how to update the
install display. For example, let's say that a user
bought a tool that works with Final Cut Pro or Adobe
Premier. We sell those individually at different
prices - but the actual product install packages are
both on the CD. If a customer puts in a serial number
for the Final Cut Pro version - we only want to show
the Final Cut Pro tools and not the Adobe Premier
tools. If a user puts in a serial number for the
Final Cut Pro tools and 3D libraries, we want to show
those in the list. There are several different
combinations that can be purchased - and we're trying
to only show what the customer bought instead of
showing every package that's on the CD.
Are you using a distribution script?
I'm a newbie when it comes to distribution script but from what I can
see in the doc.. (hmm the release notes), it supports property list
reading.
So maybe the idea could be to write the user's answer to a property
list in a location readable by everyone (/tmp ?) and then, in the
customization pane (which you probably want to be displayed by
default), add some tests based on the values in this property list.
