Export all Licenses info + rename with PowerCLI

[HHHsien]

Hi

I'm trying to export my licenses information to a CSV file using this script :

$vSphereLicInfo = @()

$ServiceInstance = Get-View ServiceInstance

Foreach ($LicenseMan in Get-View ($ServiceInstance | Select -First 1).Content.LicenseManager) {

Foreach ($License in ($LicenseMan | Select -ExpandProperty Licenses)) {

$Details = "" |Select VC, Name, Key, Total, Used

$Details.VC = ([Uri]$LicenseMan.Client.ServiceUrl).Host

$Details.Name= $License.Name

$Details.Key= $License.LicenseKey

$Details.Total= $License.Total

$Details.Used= $License.Used 

$vSphereLicInfo += $Details

}

}

But I can't export information in the column below :

I also want to rename a License with PowerCLI (couldn't find anything about it)

Please help me,

Thanks ,

JN

Which vSphere version are you using?

This seems to work for me (but that is in vSphere 6.5)

$vSphereLicInfo = @()

$ServiceInstance = Get-View ServiceInstance

Foreach ($LicenseMan in Get-View ($ServiceInstance | Select -First 1).Content.LicenseManager) {

    Foreach ($License in ($LicenseMan | Select -ExpandProperty Licenses)) {

        $Details = "" |Select VC, Name, Key, Total, Used

        $Details.VC = ([Uri]$LicenseMan.Client.ServiceUrl).Host

        $Details.Name= $License.Name

        $Details.Key= $License.LicenseKey

        $Details.Total= $License.Total

        $Details.Used= $License.Used

        $vSphereLicInfo += $Details

    }

}

$vSphereLicInfo | Export-Csv .\report.csv -UseCulture

Afaik, there is no public API to rename a license entry

Thank you Luc,

I'm using vSphere 6.5 and it works fine but that "License" column is missing (License's name)

$Details.Name= $License.Name

That line returns the product's name not the license's name

Afaik you can't get at the Name, again no public API afaik

Ok, that's good to know.

Thank you Luc for your help,

Have a good day
