Script to check OS license details on Windows devices
OS licenses are agreements that allow users to legally use and access the software. It is important for admins to ensure that these licenses comply with the terms of the organization, this includes ensuring that the correct number of licenses are being used, and that the licenses are valid and not compromised. However, manually checking the license detail on every device is tiresome. Hence, you can deploy scripts from the Hexnode portal to fetch license details on every Windows device remotely.
The sample scripts provided below are adapted from third-party open-source sites.

$lic = Get-WmiObject -Class SoftwareLicensingProduct | Where-Object {$_.PartialProductKey -ne $null} echo "License Name: $($lic.Name)" echo "Descriptions: $($lic.Description)" echo "Application ID: $($lic.ApplicationId)" echo "Product Key Channel: $($lic.ProductKeyChannel)" echo "Use License URL: $($lic.UseLicenseURL)" echo "Validation URL: $($lic.ValidationURL)" echo "PartialProductKey: $($lic.PartialProductKey)" echo "ProductKey ID: $($lic.ProductKeyID)" echo "License Status: $($lic.LicenseStatus)" |
The following values specify the status of the license:
| Value | Description |
|---|---|
| 0 | Unlicensed |
| 1 | Licensed |
| 2 | Out-Of-Box Grace |
| 3 | Out-Of-Tolerance Grace |
| 4 | NonGenuineGrace |

- It is recommended to manually validate the script execution on a system before executing the action in bulk.
- Hexnode will not be responsible for any damage/loss to the system on the behavior of the script.
