Can I push the new license to PDQ clients?

  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
      }
  ```
