Mainly directing this question to anyone who sells to schools. Where do
you save your registration number to make it easy for schools to
register a product without having to do it for every user in the school.
At the moment I am going back to the Preference folder or
ApplicationSupportFolder but both seem to require every user to do it.
If you save something into the Application folder then I suppose they
have to log in as Admin reimage that machine and copy that around the
school
Is there any solution that would minimise their pain?

All our software supports networking so we have a DB on a server that will
contain registration stuff. We find that schools are heavily under
supported and it can be a down right pain to get stuff that they don't
find difficult to use. We've found most schools have a teacher or parent
servicing their computers and their knowledge is very limited. Something
worth looking into would be to write a simple service they put on their
server that uses TCP and your program goes to check that for the
registration. We also actually have the ability to install the software
from the server (Custom installer) and sets up registration and server
details automatically.
Best wishes and HTH,
Deane
