It depends on the application being installed. Some applications will have a parameter which can be added to set the keys, others will need a separate step to put the keys in a file or in the registry. This can be accomplished by creating a script and deploying the script with PDQ Deploy).
What applications do you have in mind?

Do they prompt for the serial numbers during the installation? If so then for CorelDRAW it appears that you can create a response file which includes the values from a setup. Run the installer with this parameter:
setup32.exe /creatersp=c:\setup-response.txt
The setup-response.txt file will then have everything you entered into the installer. You then use it like this:
setup32.exe /silent /rspfile=c:\setup-response.txt
You would use your own path to the response text file, of course.
As for Lectora I did some quick searching around but couldn't find any information on its installer options. You may be able to run the installer manually with /? to see if there are any command line options that could be used.
