Altering the MSI database in an admin install

During an administrative install we gather licensing information from the user which we validate in a custom action dll and set a property to the entered number if it is validated.  However, the network image which results from the install does not contain the property value in the MSI database, which we need in order to be able to tell whether licensing info has already been entered or instead needs to be entered on the client machines.  Is there any way of getting the property value set during the administrative install to persist in the MSI database of the network image?

There is a property called "AdminProperties".  This is a semi-colon delimted list of properties whose values will persist from an admin installation.

You should be able to use this to pass the information you need.
