Since the serial number is "user data" I would expect it to persist
after uninstall. If this is a per machine install I'd expect the file to live
under CommonAppData in a Mfg/App sub folder. As such, the only need for a CA is
to read this data on major upgrade (if you really think the installer should be
the one prompting for a serial number). To be honest, I'd go with the
recommended approach of the installer only doing the installing, and the
registration happening upon first run of the application.
That being said, if you really need this inside your installer, I
wouldn't move the license file but rather I'd have a CA for reading all the
info out of the file. Schedule this CA early in your sequence (have it in both
but schedule it to only run once) and have it populate Secure and Hidden
properties that would then be used to populate your dialog in the UI.

Subject: [WiX-users] Help migrating Serial number during upgrade
Hello,
I have been tasked with creating a custom action that will migrate the
user's serial number during a major upgrade. I have a custom action that runs
before RemoveExisting that moves the license file, but my problem is that we
have a custom dialog if ran in GUI mode that prompts for the serial. Since this
runs before my custom action it shows up blank.
My question is will I need to use two custom actions one in the UI sequence and
another in the InstallExecute sequence or is there a way I can just use one
custom action and solve both cases.
