Storyboard Pro makes use of a license file on the client to connect to a license server. Custom installers should include a postinstall script to activate the license service and add the required license.dat file as well as any additional config files.
The installer needs to add three modified files to the application bundle. These will provide the user with custom settings for PDF templates, resolution presets, and software updates.
• pdfoptions.xml
• sb_prefs_override.xml
• resolution.conf
resolution.conf

Client License
The client license file is located at /usr/local/flexlm/licenses/license.dat
A postinstall script can activate the license service and add the license file.
