Information

This PowerShell script is designed to scan user folders for license files and extract relevant information specific to DbVisualizer. It specifically targets the presence of license files and searches for specific text within them. The script aims to streamline the process of finding license information within user directories.

The script must be executed as part of the Snow Inventory Agent for Windows, according to the topic Running PowerShell scripts as part of the scanning process on Snow Docs.

In the case that you want to run a manual scan, this script must be executed with appropriate permissions, so execute it using only sc.exe control SnowInventoryAgent5 128, as described in the Windows Agent - Command line topic on Snow Docs.

Function

Upon execution, the script utilizes two main PowerShell cmdlets: Get-ChildItem and Get-Content. It starts by scanning user directories using Get-ChildItem to locate license files.

Once a license file is identified, the script employs Get-Content to extract the textual content from within the file. Subsequently, it searches for the presence of the text "Personal" within the extracted content.

By leveraging these cmdlets, the script automates the process of locating license files and extracting pertinent information, facilitating efficient management of software licenses.

MediumIntegrity

This script does need medium integrity to find access registry hives of other users.

Troubleshooting

Custom encryption might need to be applied to this script when running on Snow Inventory Agent for Windows prior to version 7, as it will not be executed in medium integrity.

NEW

  • Snow Inventory Agent for Windows 7 support.
  • The script is now signed by Snow Software AB.

DEPRECATED

  • There will be no encrypted snow-ps1 version of this script provided by Snow Software.
