This is exactly what I want to do - but, I don't know how to access the customization pane. I don't see any info on that in the docs on Apple's web site. Any suggestions on how to get access to the PackageSelection InstallerSection or the customPane InstallerPane or the CustomInstallerPage InstallerPane (I think that's what they're called ;-) ?

You can ARD to also install the licensing - if not it will skip the libraries. All of our other products can Premier. We sell those individually at different prices - but the actual product install packages 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 those in the list. There are several different combinations that can be purchased - and we're 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.

Unfortunately this can't be done. The closest you can get to choices information from Installer plugins is via the InstallerState class which will return you *information* about choices and the user's selection, but won't let you affect their state. And there's no hook from the outside world into the Javascript used by the choices mechanism to allow you to affect your choices that way. I'd suggest filing an enhancement request at http://bugreporter.apple.com . I think that's OK for our 3D libraries because they're set-up 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 are both on the CD.
