Licensing and Manifest File

We have two Lic for Adobe Captivate2. When we try to package a captivate demo using SCORM, only one lic will create the manifest file for us. Both Lic were purchased at the same time. Please help.

We just found out that when we package the same captivate file using captivate Macromedia captivate, all the necessary files are created and loaded successfully into our LMS (Saba).

Unfortunatlly, I cannot say the same thing about Adobe Captivate 2.

Under the SCORM publishing option, there are a number of variables that need setting. I have tried a number of settings without any luck.

Do you know exactly the variables I need to set?

AS I understand it, a manifest won't be generated if there's nothing to
track. I always assumed that meant at least one interaction had to be
marked as 'scored' and the Quiz Manager settings had to be completed
(type of tracking, etc). I don't know if 'track by slide views' means a
manifest will be generated or not...

But you're suggesting that on one system, without any scored
interactions and no Quiz Manager settings, that a manifest is being
generated with just 'track by slide views' checked?

I'm not familiar enough to know if that's all that should be needed, nor
if that option should result in a manifest.

A common workaround for content that needs to be viewed but has no
'quiz' is to place a scored interaction on the first slide that simply
says something like 'Click here to begin'. Since everyone clicks to
start the course, they automatically score 100%, which can be correlated
to a 'completed' status.

It is working now. Thank You. Do you know what triggers the following variables form Captivate? I have tried every reporting option in Captivate without any luck.

Thank You

The settings are little bit different in both version. I tried my best to come as close as possible. The zip file is produce but the manifest file is not available. There is no quize to take. All I am trying to do is track by slide views only option.

I was told that there are some updates for Captivate 2 on the Adobe site that I cannot find.

I'd be surprised if it's a licensing issue - I've never seen nor heard
of that. It's more likely the settings...? Are you publishing the same
file from both systems? Are ALL settings EXACTLY the same between them?
Your app must have scored interactions, and might need to have 'create
zip file' checked, in order for a manifest to be created. Are all the
Quiz Manager settings the same on both computers with Captivate?
