Thanks to you all! I teach an introductory Finale class and an advanced music engraving class and, of course, use the program for my own work. Currently we have a dilemma managing to setup FinMac 2k4 in our labs and our IT guru is at his wits end attempting to sort it out. Any advice will be greatly appreciated (...our first semester 2004 commenced today!) Of course, we are seeking assistance from our suppliers (and MakeMusic/Coda as well). We have a teaching lab with 13 identical G4 iMac running OSX.3 with external MIDI keyboards. The required software including Finale 2004 (Mac) was installed on one of the iMacs. (In our case , during the image creation process, Finale was installed successfully and after installation was also registered completely.) Then using a utility called Carbon Copy Cloner, an image of the final software setup is created and configured for a NetBoot setup. The image file is uploaded to a Mac Xserve. The workstations boot up and read the image and run any required apps from the image on the server. The workstations have a hard disk but it contains only the default user directory which is required by the OS to work. It also contains some preferences for application and system software. The contents of the default user directory are copied from the workstation on which the image is built and then imaged across all the workstations. We suspect that the file (if a file) which holds the registration info is not being retained when the workstations read from the image, because Finale behaves as if it hasn't been registered. After extensive testing in trying to identify the file which flags that Finale has been registered, we can't determine what file keeps this info. If this info is kept on a file can anyone let me know which file it is ? Replies off-list might be preferable.
