Toast Titanium Mac Serial Number
Mac Product Key Finder - recover lost serial numbers of your Mac apps Mac Product Key Finder is freeware program for recovering lost product keys (or making backup before it is too late) for software installed on your Mac. This small tool will scan your Mac for installed applications and show your product keys (serial numbers). You can save this list to a file (HTML, XML, CSV, PDF and text file) or print it. Currently, list of supported software is not very big, but it includes popular software such as Microsoft Office 2008, Adobe Photoshop CS3-CS5, Parallel's Desktop, Panic applications, VMWare Fusion and many more. At the moment, there are 2 versions of Mac Product Key Finder: Freeware and Professional versions.
Pro version supports more software and has more useful features, such as 'Deep scan' and network Mac scan. Below, you can see comparison table of features between freeware and Pro versions.
NOTE: Microsoft Office 2011 is NOT supported by Free or Pro versions, and no, unfortunately we cannot add it, since it's encrypted, even though we know where it's stored. Only Office 2008 and beta version of 2011 are supported. NOTE 2: Apperture, Final Cut, Logic Studio and Roxio Toast Titanium are NOT supported by Free or Pro versions as well. These keys are also encrypted. NOTE 3: Both Free and Pro versions will not work on apps you purchased through Mac AppStore, since they simply come without serial numbers. After you purchase app through AppStore, full version will be downloaded to your computer. Features Freeware version Professional version Number of supported programs Minimum supported OSX version 10.5 Leopard 10.4 Tiger Maximum supported OSX version 10.13 High Sierra Reveals your Mac OS serial number.
Toast Titanium Mac Serial Number Identification
Where is the Toast 12 Titanium license file stored? The Rox.dat file doesn't seem to exist. I searched across the entire Mac, after the volume license key was entered, including invisibles, including bundle contents, etc., and came up dry. Is Toast 12 licensed some other way? PS, Toast stinks.not just because it's useless bloatware (hello Burn.app!), but also because we have to go through this fiasco to deploy it. Roxio should just sell it to Microsoft so they can stick a dagger in it. Don, that's some f.ugly install.
Did I ever tell you about the Sophos developers deciding to name their Unix binary with a space in it. Or about the HP plotter driver installer that, if you installed it while logged in as root user, would delete everything off of every mounted share point (yeah, that was a fun day, having to rebuild my 100s of GBs on my Installers share point from backup). Sometimes I can track down the licensing file by running fseventer (while I serialize the app. The app will show you all files being read, and being written to, and so sometimes it'll help you find the serialization file, or clue you into what's being modified to include the serialization flag. 'It's like a nightmare, isn't it? Worse and worse.'
- Vincent Lauria (The Color of Money) And the winner for Developer Bozo Of The Year Award goes to. After months of endless emails, asking for a way to push Toast without users having to be disrupted/involved, Corel/Roxio sent us a VLP package.
I'm downloading it now (330mb). Their instructions are to use ARD to deploy, then have the users enter their admin rights on first launch so the necessary Kernel Extension can be ignored. Really, these are their instructions to us. I'll give this a little time to sink in. (Of course this is insane, very Adobe 'Teach us - we don't understand enterprise' like). I'm paraphrasing a bit from my actual deployment process but this is how I install Toast 11. Something similar may work for Toast 12.
Word finally got to the VP of development, I guess we'll see if these issues are acknowledged/resolved. They do seem to be following the path Quark took after the product lost market share, became marginally useful, and profits started to slide.merge, merge, merge, and watch your capable staff be slowly replaced with cheaper, less capable staff.gotta protect that cash cow. BREAKING NEWS: After a bit more testing we found (yet) another application being installed in the non-admin user's home directory: I wish I was good at blogging, you can't make this $#!+ up. I haven't had a chance to create a Composer manifest for Toast 12.1 but here is an image of what we found needs to be packaged. The developer is helping us, but to set expectation, they don't have enough resources to put into making their proper PKG installer more enterprise friendly. No surprises there, seems to be the trend now-a-days.
Their PKG is flat, and can be pushed to a logged off computer; since the madness only starts once Toast 12.1 is launched. So DMG format package is required to deploy using JSS, else create a flat PKG and loop the user level stuff. On a bright note, after many emails, the developer has agreed to collaborate with us, so we can leverage any 'defaults' commands that may exist. For example, disabling auto updates checking: $ defaults read /Users/johndoe/Library/Preferences/com.roxio.Toast.plist SUEnableAutomaticChecks 0 With a little effort, we can push their Toast 12.1 flat PKG, along with the license key, and defaults commands. Will post back if/when we get further along. I can not attribute any of the following to any current/past/future Roxio engineer, but let's just say thank you very much for helping get this sorted out over a weekend.
Toast Titanium Windows
The work was done on his computer. I connected remotely to share my knowledge and at the end we have a working deployment process that removes 11 and installs 12 and hits the Dock icons along the way. My install method for Toast is the following. I install: 1) Toast 12.0 installer pkg 2) Toast 12.1 update pkg 3) A registration pkg that installs a plist to /L/P/com.roxio.Toast.plist, which contains:
Mac Serial Number
The non-data keys are self-explanatory. I deploy a plist because in the environment for which Toast gets deployed, I'm ok with requiring a logout or a reboot if necessary for the preferences to become cached. This plist works as another any-user default, but if a user already has some of the same keys set in their own com.roxio.Toast prefs domain, then those would need to be either removed so that those in /L/P/com.roxio.Toast take precedence, or to instead have a login script-like mechanism to set the appropriate keys in the user's domain. That's all to say that you might prefer a different mechanism for setting the preferences for on a user-level, but that that's all the licensing bits are - standard OS X preferences that obey the patterns we see for Apple's own application-level preferences.
