Question

Need to install clean OS and CC apps with shared device license to iMacs. Can I use a disk image?

I would like to do a clean OS installation on a single iMac, and then add all of the required CC apps to that single machine, then make a disk image form that machine and use that image to duplicate the OS and CC installation on multiple iMacs.

We just migrated from the old Device License to the new Shared Device License, and I have all of the student identities setup. Now I just need to get the new software installed, but also want to do a clean Mac OS installation at the same time.

I was thinking that a disk image from an iMac with the OS and CC apps installed would make it easy to apply the OS and apps to all machines, but was unsure if CC apps would work, in case there was something unique to the package installation process for each machine that woudl make the apps in the disk image incompatible.

Any other suggestions on making the deployment easier then repeating it on each machine would be helpful.

Thank you.

    I did a time machine restore with CC on the iMac and just changed the iMac id  after and it worked fine for me?
