Hey guys,

I am trying to deploy the Cisco Secure services client
It's a MSI file but I need to update the license key in it
Can someone tell me which table do I need to update? do I need to add a new row in the "Property table"
By the way I can use either MSI editor or Orca

Thanks

Sn

Did you create a transform

Did you create a transform (MST) for the package? You could create/recreate the transform with the new key or if the key is stored in the msi as a property you could replace that property, either way its better to use a transform rather than edit the msi directly using Orca.

Locate the property that holds the licence key

I am unfamiliar with this MSI, but as a rule, if the user interface has a dialog that requests the licence key, then the best action to take, after setting the MSI to read-only, is to open it in the Wise Editor, locate the licence dialog, and then determine which property is being set with the user-entered licence key.
Once you know this, you can create a transform which sets this property with your licence key value, in the property table.
