Software Deployment

Look through the Registry, %USERPROFILE% or ProgramData for these settings. There should be some configurations pointing to the first launch instances. - 786_ak 10 years ago

Product activation is a licensing scheme that was developed to avoid users making illegal copies of software. Generally, product activation works on the basis of reading machine specific information such as the MAC address and the bios serial number and uses this as part of the activation token. So even if you are able to determine where the activation information is stored, unless you know the algorithms used to calculate the activation token, it will not work on any other machine. Speak to the vendor and ask if they offer an alternative option such as a licensing server which you can have accessible on the network. (Not unlike Microsoft's KMS server). - EdT 10 years ago
