Enabling Software ID Tag Generation During Repackaging

AdminStudio 2021 R2 | 22.0 | Repackager

On the Build Options tab of the Repackager Options dialog box, you can enable or disable automatic software tag file creation and can set the default values for Tag Creator Name and Tag Creator RegID.

Important:Any changes that you make to the software tagging options on the Build Options tab of the Repackager Options dialog box will also automatically be made to the options on the General Options > Import Options > Software Tagging tab of the Application Catalog Options dialog box.

To set software tagging options in Repackager:

1. Launch Repackager.
2. On the Tools menu, click Options. The Options dialog box opens.
3. Open the Build Options tab.

4. To instruct AdminStudio to automatically create a transform file containing software tag file(s) for Windows Installer packages that are imported into the Application Catalog or built using Repackager, make sure that the Enable creation of software ID tag transforms during import and repackaging option is selected. By default, this option is selected.

Note:Whenever a Windows Installer package is imported into the Application Catalog or built using Repackager, AdminStudio creates a software ID tag file (which is stored in the Application Catalog), but if the Enable creation of software ID tag transforms during import and repackaging option it not selected, AdminStudio does not create the transform.

5. In the Tag Creator Name field, enter a name to identify the creator of the software ID tag files that will be created by AdminStudio. By default, the value is Flexera.

Note:For more information, see About the Tag Creator Name, Software Creator Name, and Software Licensor Name Fields in the AdminStudio Help Library.

6. In the Tag Creator RegID field, enter an ID to uniquely identify the creator of the software ID tag files that will be created by AdminStudio, using the following format:

    regid.YYYY-MM.ReversedDomainName,optional_division

For example:

    regid.2009-06.com.yourcompany,GlobalProductDivision

By default, the value is AdminStudio’s RegID:

    regid.2009-06.com.flexera,AdminStudio

Note:For more information on RegIDs, see About Software Tagging RegIDs in the AdminStudio Help Library.
