Information
The script Scan-CreoViewEditionFinder.ps1 is designed to enhance and accurately detect editions of CreoView installations.
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
The script functions by retrieving edition information stored as clear text in the user preference file (user_prefs.xml). This data is extracted by analyzing three specific rows within the [file: startup_mode](file: startup_mod), license_pvecad_revision, and license_pvmcad_revision. These rows contain various values that determine the edition being used:
- startup_mode: pvlite, pvstandard, pvpro
- license_pvecad_revision: lite, pro_ondemand
- license_pvmcad_revision: lite, pro_ondemand
The combination of these values determines the specific edition. For clarity, refer to the table below showcasing the different combinations.
MediumIntegrity
This script does need medium integrity.
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.
