Creating a serialized installation file
To create a serialized version of pcAnywhere, you must add the serial ID file that
you generate in pcAnywhere to a product definition file in Symantec Packager.
The serial ID is embedded in the product when you build the product or build a
package that contains the product definition.
The custom product installation or package must be installed on the host and
remote computers. To allow a connection between a host and remote computer,
the host and remote computers must have matching serial IDs.
To create a serialized installation file
1
In the Symantec Packager window, on the Configure Products tab, do one of
the following:
■ Create a new product configuration.
■ Double-click an existing product to edit it.

In the Product Editor window, on the Features tab, do any of the following:
■ Check the product features that you want to include in the custom product.
■ Uncheck the features that you do not want to include.
■ Click the plus sign next to a feature to select or remove its subfeatures.

remote features, select Host and Remote. To create separate installations,
