This file is essentially a template in order to automatically activate a perpetual serial number when the software was launched for the first time. When TI-SmartView CE is installed via its install PKG, a deployment.properties file gets created in /Library/Application Support/TI-SmartView CE 84/res/. I recently started testing some of our existing software on the latest version of macOS Sierra (10.12.5) and ran into an issue with the TI-SmartView CE emulator software for Mac when trying to activate with our institution’s license that was a result of a change Texas Instruments had made to the software installer that wasn’t communicated and is somewhat buried line in their software installation and activation knowledge base article. This is based on a post I made on Jamfnation back in March.
