Embed Licensing/Serial Number into LabVIEW Installer

[pulidotech]

I am making a LabVIEW installer for someone and I was wondering if there was a way to embed the serial number for licensing a toolkit into a LabVIEW installer.  Probably not, but for a novice user that only wants to look at the final product, it's kind of a pain to have them follow instructions related to licensing.

You can automate product activation with a post install script. Doesn't make it easy to handle multiple serial numbers but if you have a few limited customers it's not all that bad.

If you don't want to tie installers to serial numbers you could also launch License Manager after installation. In that case your customer would need to know what their license is but it at least makes it pretty obvious that they need one to run the application.

I like both of your solutions.  I like launching license manager when I have more than a few licenses to deal with and a post install script when I don't.  Thanks.
