Microsoft OS License details on Windows devices

Operating system licenses are contractual agreements permitting users to legally utilize and access the software. Admins play a crucial role in ensuring that the Microsoft OS licenses align with the organization's terms, including verifying the accurate usage count and validity. However, manually inspecting license details on each device can be a laborious task.

The following PowerShell script helps the IT Admins to remotely get the OS license details from their managed Windows devices.

1. Create a file on your desktop, for example, os_license_info.ps1 and open it in a text editor like notepad++

2. Copy the contents below to the file or click here to download the file.
   

   $lic = Get-WmiObject -Class SoftwareLicensingProduct | Where-Object {$_.PartialProductKey -ne $null} 
   $id  = (Get-WmiObject -query 'select * from SoftwareLicensingService').OA3xOriginalProductKey
   echo "License Name: $($lic.Name)" 
   echo "Descriptions: $($lic.Description)" 
   echo "Application ID: $($lic.ApplicationId)" 
   echo "Product Key Channel: $($lic.ProductKeyChannel)" 
   echo "Use License URL: $($lic.UseLicenseURL)" 
   echo "Validation URL: $($lic.ValidationURL)" 
   echo "PartialProductKey: $($lic.PartialProductKey)" 
   echo "ProductKey ID: $($lic.ProductKeyID)" 
   echo "License Status: $($lic.LicenseStatus)" 
   echo "Product Key: $id"
