We have a bunch of artwork that we want to secure with a serial

easily decompressed), but of course there doesn't seem to be a good
place just to install a bunch of files. The team that is running
the project wants me to put it on the user desktop, but also wants
it to be a user customizable path, and we have to support 10.4.
I'm not sure to follow the serial number thing. If the plan is to use
a serial number in the installer via an Installer plugin, this is
pointless. Installer Plugins can be skipped, removed, etc.
If the serial number is more a password than a serial number, why not
use an encrypted disk image?
1. It's a bit more secure (it's secure as long as the password is not
shared publicly (serial numbers have the same issues BTW)).
2. The disk image will mount on the Desktop.
3. The user can copy them wherever (s)he wants to.
