[Casper] Adobe Photoshop Elements 6

[Sandy J. Hinding]

Hi Peter,
Haven't worked on this in awhile, but as I recall, previous to CS3, (so maybe Elements too?) , if you installed Adobe products, you needed to create a registration DB file that included ALL your Adobe serial numbers, and then include that in an
"AdobeRequired" package, which had to be installed along with all adobe applications. Otherwise, this file would be wiritten over by each Adobe app package and only the last one installed would work.
FIle location: /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Adobe Registration Database

Run Composer
Install all your Adobe apps on one machine
Use the pre-built feature to break out ea application into its own installer, and then leave all the rest for the "AdobeRequired" installer.
(This would be the same method to break out ILife into separate Application Packages)

Begining with CS3, I think that since you are running that from the mounted image, it injects that serial # into wherever(not same filename) as if you were sitting there with the disks
I hope this is helpful...

Sandy
