There is not a SnagIt Deployment Tool for macOS as far as I am aware, I believe that is Windows Only. I spoke with TechSmith last year and they advised SnagIt on macOS does not support configuration profiles as it does not read from /Library/Managed Preferences.

 

This is SnagIt for macOS's deployment documentation, how to deploy the license file and how to set preferences which needs to be done with a script.

I'm deploying config profiles for SnagIt based upon their documentation and they work just fine (my main concern was hiding the registration key and hiding the sharing plugins. My only real gripe with TechSmith and their SnagIt licensing is not being able to update the license from a previous version. I've had to remove the old license, place the new, uninstall old version, install new. Its a pain, but I've not figured out a smoother way to get it done.

There is a profile you can create to hide the key when they do "about" in the program. This is for snagit 2024. Also cut down on telemetry. It doesn't change the fact if the user knows where the key is located they can find it.
