How to embed a unique ID into an installer PKG?


  • Subject: How to embed a unique ID into an installer PKG?

I have  a strange requirement.

Whenever someone downloads our installer, we need to (on the server) insert a unique identifier somewhere into the installer.

Then, during the installation, we use this unique suffix when making requests to another web service.

My application is packaged as a PKG (not a "flat-file" - I was considering just renaming the downloaded file server-side and checking it during install) and now I am wondering how to do this...


How does one normally embed some kind of unique identifier into each installer? My server is running linux, so the solution would have to work there....



Any help would be much appreciated!
