Apologies for the off-topic post but this is really urgent.

Does anyone know of an installer package that will allow one component of an
installation to be protected by a serial number? Everything I have found so
far password protects the whole installation. I need the user to be able to
choose either demo or full version, and only be prompted for a serial number
if the full version is chosen.
 
You will probably have to do some workarounds to get this kind of behavior.

Here's a possible approach...
Use a CustomCheckbox dialog to ask the user if they want the demo or
full version
If you have two versions of the file/component, use the property on the
checkbox to install the right one.
Use the property in the Condition of a Custom Action to only run the
custom action if the Full version is requested.
In the custom action, prompt for a serial number, then take the whatever
steps necessary based on the input.
