Can I push the new license to PDQ clients?

We have 15 users of Deploy and Inventory. Can PDQ Deploy be used to update the license file?

--- START LICENSE ---

--- END LICENSE ---

    That is unnecessary. Clients pull the license from the server every time they start up.

    Yes, you can use Powershell, as I did with my company.

     

    ```powershell

    $programNames = @("PDQ Inventory", "PDQ Deploy")
Write-Host "Stopping PDQ Services..."

ForEach ($programName in $programNames) {
    Stop-Service -DisplayName $programName -Force
    }

Write-Host "Installing new keys..."
$registryPath = "HKLM:\Software\Admin Arsenal\"
$newKey = @("--- START LICENSE ---PDQ Inventory License goes here--- END LICENSE ---",
            "--- START LICENSE ---PDQ Deploy License goes here--- END LICENSE ---")
ForEach ($programName in $programNames) {
    $index = [array]::indexof($programNames, $programName)
    $path = (Join-Path -Path $registryPath -ChildPath $programName)
    New-ItemProperty -Path $path -Name "License" -Value $newKey[$index] -PropertyType String -Force | Out-Null
    Write-Host "    $programName key updated"
    }

Write-Host "Starting PDQ Services..."
ForEach ($programName in $programNames) {
    Start-Service -DisplayName $programName
    }
```
