Mind Manager for MAC

Hi Team,

We are trying to package the MindManager software but when user is trying to install the package it prompts for the license key. We would like this go as a silent install.

Would like to know if there is a way we can avoid the License prompt window.

Thank you,
Paul

Hi,

you should check the licencing procedure first. In some cases it can be a licence violation to have the licence key within the software package.

You can build a package with a snapshot. I recommend doing this on a blank machine. This also should capture the file the licence information is stored in.

You can ask the developer for a volume licence without a key or with a general key.

Best Regards

Thomas

Hey,

We are doing the same way as suggested...

After taking snapshot and installing the package in another machine it is not recoganising the license and again prompting for License key. The License file is changing for each device.

How can we package in these scenario where license file is random for devices.

Thanks,
Paul

Hi Paul,

Did you have any luck with Composer and your volume license of MindManager?

I ended up having to manually create the plist with our volume license key for it to work and package it that way in composer.

Thanks,

Chris

Hi Paul,

we are using this script to set the license key, suppress EULA at first start disable auto-updates and open a new blank document.

It will create com.mindmanager.plist in ~/Library/Preferences and ~/Library/Preferences/ByHost

End users will not be bothered accepting EULA and/or set the license manually.

Best Regards, Philipp

Hey has anyone found a way to install/add the licence key for 13.2 since they now ask for both account and licence key for first time install. 
Would be nice to let the user skip having to type in the licence key and only spend time creating the acocunt

DO we have any option to enable the SSO using the kerberos jamf auto login with mindmanager application ?
