What You Are Seeing?

As a system administrator I would like to be able to view the license information from the command prompt

What is Expected?

  • The registered name of the license
  • The expiration date
  • The license type
  • The license count (total, not usage)
  • Anything else that might be useful

-- at some point in the future, i.e. not now, it would be nice to have:

  • export to a json / xml format

I know this is all available in the chocolatey.license.xml file, but I think it would be usable to put this into an new choco license command, or perhaps extend the choco support command.

Moved this to Chocolatey CLI repository. This seems to initially be something better handled in Chocolatey CLI instead of the licensed extension. My thoughts for potential subcommands in CLI in no particular order:

  • choco license install ./path/to/file.extension - This could read in the file specified, verify it's a valid license, then create the appropriate directory structure and name it correctly
  • choco license list - Get information about the currently installed license (name, license count, license type, expiration, etc.)
  • choco license uninstall - I imagine this would just remove the license file 🤷

Chocolatey Licensed Extension could then contain an enhanced command to perform actions that don't necessarily make sense to do without the licensed extension.

This commit introduces a new command to Chocolatey, `license`.

Currently, the functionality is limited, and it will only
display details on the current license.
