We have a font application that works the same way. You don't need to remove
a file but instead use Casper's "Fill User Template" (FUT) and "Fill
Existing Users" (FEU) feature to copy the appropriate file to each user's
directory.

Install your software without launching it. Then use Composer to watch what
happens when you enter the serial number. Most likely a preference file
(possibly hidden) is getting created in your ~/Library/Preferences folder.

Take that preference file and package it, making sure to keep it in a
directory structure such as /Users/install/Library/Preferences. The
"install" user is a place holder. When you select FUT and FEU during
installation then Casper will place the file in all existing user accounts
as well as place the file in the User Template folder.
