How about an html report?
The CSS/HTML part of this code is inspired from http://hostilecoding.blogspot.no/2014/03/vmware-fancy-html-reports-using-powercli.html
$PathToSaveTheReport = "C:\temp\Report.html"
$vCenterName = "testvCenter"
Connect-VIServer -Server $vCenterName
$ServiceInstance = Get-View ServiceInstance
$LicenseManager = Get-View $ServiceInstance.Content.LicenseManager
$licenseAssignmentManager = Get-View $LicenseManager.licenseAssignmentManager
#Get VC license Information
$vCenterInformation= $LicenseManager.licenses | select @{Name="vCenter";Expression={$vCenterName}},Name,LicenseKey,Used,Total | ConvertTo-HTML -Fragment
#Get Host license Information
$HostInformation = Get-View -ViewType HostSystem | foreach-object{
$AssignedLicense = ($licenseAssignmentManager.QueryAssignedLicenses($_.Moref.Value)).AssignedLicense
$Output = New-Object -Type PSObject -Prop ([ordered]@{
'vCenterName' = $vCenterName
'Hostname' = $_.Name
'version' = $_.Config.Product.Version
'MemorySize' = $_.Hardware.MemorySize
'core_num' =$_.Hardware.CpuInfo.NumCpuCores
'cpu_num' =$_.Hardware.cpuinfo.Numcpupackages
'Boottime' = $_.Summary.Runtime.BootTime
'licenseKey' = $AssignedLicense.LicenseKey
'Name' = $AssignedLicense.name
})
Return $Output
