- Download Camtasia Mac DMG from here
- Go to this location: /Users/Shared/TechSmith/Camtasia/
- Inside of the Camtasia folder, create a text file named: LicenseKey We recommend using TextEdit and making sure these settings are checked in TextEdit before creating the text file. Once those settings are changed in TextEdit, close TextEdit completely and re-open it to create the text file. Do NOT put the .txt extension in the filename or allow a .txt extension to automatically be added to the file name. Make sure it is saved with UTF-8 Plain Text Encoding. See examples below:
- Deploy that text file to all your users. *Make sure the users have read and write access to the entire Users folder structure. You can try it without write access if your environment is setup that way.
- Once they load Camtasia for the first time, it will read the license key and unlock Camtasia 2021.
- Install the System Audio Component for End Users who may not have permission to do so:
- The binary is located at Camtasia 2022.app/Contents/Resources/aceinstaller
- Run the following command: sudo ./aceinstaller install
Change the year depending on which version of Camtasia you are using.
Installation
Camtasia (Mac) can be installed by automated tools including Apple Remote Desktop. The following files must be copied to client machines for a serialized installation to work:
- Camtasia.app to /Applications
- Camtasia Registration Key to /Users/Shared/TechSmith/Camtasia
More Information
The Camtasia Registration Key file is generated on Camtasia's first run and is unique for any specific key. Run Camtasia on one computer, enter the key, and then copy that machine's Camtasia Registration Key.
The above method is only valid with a single multi-user key and not individual keys. Note that this installation method does not apply for copies of Camtasia purchased through the App Store.
Tip
We recommend downloading the latest Camtasia (Mac) disk image version here and copying Camtasia.app for install.
