Hi.I am packaging AutoCAD LT 2008.I have done a MST with InstallTailor it works fine.But I dont know how to get rid of the Activation procedure at the first start of the program.Can someone that has package AutoCAD 2008 or other software with simular activation methods please help me with this?I thought it was enough to add this two registry keys but I guess it wasent:HKEYLOCALMACHINESOFTWAREAutodeskAutoCAD LTR13ACADLT-6001:409SerialNumberHKEYLOCALMACHINESOFTWAREAutodeskLicensesAutodesk Licensing Service. The activation of the software is like this:You type in the serial number. You get an activation code online and you are finished.The licens is stored under All UsersApplication DataThere are one folder with a.DAT file in it. It is the licens file.In the second folder there is an.XML file and some more files.
If i remember right 4 files (Im not at my work computer now) In the.XML file there are information about the specific computer the software is licensed to.So is there anyone how know how I get around this so I can do a silent install to my users without any activation procedure bugging them? Finally someone that answers :DThere is no NetworkAdmin folder. But if you start Setup.exe you get an option to choose 'Create Deployments'.I have done a deploy with the wizard but I still have the same problem. When I install my deployment file I still have to activate the software on the first run. The only thing I had to enter during the creation of the deploy was the serial number.Anyone how have actually deployed AutoCAD LT 2008 over the network?
I could hardly believe that Im the first one?
