Is there some another software, which i could use for this task:
install, activate by serial and update when needed my program on

creating installator, activation, update on Windows and Mac?
I meant to reply to this last week... but you know how things go. I
don't have a good answer for you on the serial/activation side of
things, but as to the other parts:
Apple includes a pretty good installer right of the bat, but I think
that the freeware IceBerg makes life a little easier. Using the .pkg
(as opposed to VISE) format allows for a number of nice features for
system administrators. And you get extra bonus points if you can make
an app that is drag-and-drop (should not be difficult for most
applications). Here is a link to the MacUpdate page for it (this is
also encouragement to list on that site and VersionTracker.com):

And for auto-updating your software, as long as you have a Cocoa
application (there is a Carbon version as well), then you can use the
free framework that has become rather popular on the Mac side for that:
