Use Apple Remote Desktop software to manage your software installations.
Use Terminal to install customized software on each computer.
N
N OTE
For more information on using Apple Remote Desktop software, refer to the documentation you
received with the software.
g To deploy SMART software using Apple Remote Desktop software
1. Copy the MPKG file that you created with SMART Install Manager to a server that is
accessible to all the computers you want to install the software on.
2. Using Apple Remote Desktop software on the server, select the computers that you want to
update.

3. Press RETURN.
4. Type your administrator password, and then press RETURN.
Activating the software after installation
There are two situations in which the software doesn’t activate completely:
l
Imaging a computer: For the software to activate properly, each computer you install it on
must have a unique installation ID. If you use a computer image or clone a hard drive to set up
multiple computers, they all have the same installation ID as the original computer, which can
cause an activation error.
l
Protecting software for computer configurations: If you use system recovery or protection
software, you should activate the software before you lock or freeze the computer for your
users. However, if you can’t, you must activate the software afterward.
Run the activation wizard while connected to the network or complete the following procedure to
activate the software on each computer.
