Prompt User for Input During Install

The Toolkit General Discussion

Hi all!

Wondering if there’s an easy way to prompt the user for input during an install. For example, I’m creating an SCCM installation package of Adobe Acrobat DC but need each person that’s installing it to enter their own serial number.

Any suggestions or ideas on how to accomplish this?

Thanks!
Dan

Hi,

I believe there would be several ways to achieve your goal:

  1. In your package, create a dictionary with the MAC Address and the serial number
  2. With PowerShell ask the serial number and then push it during the installation.

Thanks,

Can you install a trial version and then have each user register their copy?

How about something like this?

$SerialNumber = [Microsoft.VisualBasic.Interaction]::InputBox(“Please enter your Serial Number” , “Serial Number”)
