I have attached screenshots of all the other settings I packed into one config profile and I have scoped them to any Mac that is in our 2023, 2024 or 2025 (Business) static groups. This way, if someone tries to get cheeky and install Snagit with temp admin rights to slip through and get a license key applied, they will not get these settings which will red flag IT if they ask for permission to screen capture etc.

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.

[Jason33]

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.

[CSCC-JS]

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.

com.TechSmith.Snagit2024

[Lion55]

Do you have Script for the customising disabling the shareplugin?

[Lion55]

Does anyone have a script that a plist for the customising of tools for Snagit ?

@a_martin253 : thank you for this script in JSON which I really like how you have set out the script, which will help others in future, because it took me sometime to get a PLIST together, which works too, if anyone need help with JSON and PLIST for Snagit Deployment Tool at least they can view both scripts now:

@a_martin253 : Do you know how to add OneDrive as a Plugin in Snag Deployment Tool? I try it in the PLIST and it never worked.

[a_martin253]

I haven't tried as my company is a Google shop

No problem thanks for your help @a_martin253
