I was wondering if anyone has successfully packaged Nvivo for Mac? Using a snapshot I install Nvivo and register the program, when I install the program created from the snapshot I get prompted to register again. It doesn’t seem to be keeping the registration.

Nvivo for Mac
+16Does anyone have any advice for disabling auto-updates?
+6@Look this still seems to work for NVivo 12 but the app name is slightly different:
Make a snapshot installer that includes a valid
/Applications/NVivo 12.app/Contents/MacOS/Activation.xmlYou can download a sample one from Nvivo:

Follow it with a script that does the following
/Applications/NVivo 12.app/Contents/MacOS/NVivo 12 -initialize MY_NVIVO_SERIAL_NUMBER -activate /Applications/NVivo 12.app/Contents/MacOS/Activation.xmlAnyone having much luck with packaging the latest version of NVivo? Using the method mentioned above (with the updated file path) does not seem to work. Keep getting prompted to Activate on first launch..... ughh

I was finding that the activation call would "succeed" even with an invalid xml path, which would lead to the behaviour that you are experiencing (the application would present the activation window on first launch with the key already populated). If I called the command again manually, it would say my key was already initialized. However, my -activate path was initially not properly escaping spaces (ex 'NVivo\\ 12.app'), so the activation.xml was not being passed properly (but no error was presented either). Once I corrected the xml path, everything behaved properly.
