Powershell script to check hardware fingerprint

asked on January 10, 2024

We've had problems with our hardware changing unexpectedly in its virtual server environment which invalidates our master licence. To try to get an early warning in future, I've written a Powershell script which runs the hardware fingerprint utility and copies it to compare with the licenced fingerprint and send alerts if it has changed.

I've got this working, but I have to be logged on to the server for it to work, as the copying of the HWFP needs to be done in interactive mode. This defeats the object.

So far as I can tell, the HWFP utility doesn't have any command line functions that would negate the need to scrape or copy the HWFP from the utility dialog box.

Has anybody got any suggestions on how to resolve this?

Might not be helpful, and you may already know of it, but have you taken a look at Domain-based Licensing?

As far as your question I am not aware of a CLI option to output, but there could be some hidden command somewhere.

Domain-based licensing is the solution here. This is one of the exact scenarios they're intended to address.

However, I do see this question has a "Version 9" tag. Domain-based licensing support began with Laserfiche Directory Server (and other components) version 10.2 (unsure of exact minor version).

John Pulman's Rio system license does have an active support contract, so if it really is version 9, I'd highly recommend upgrading and then updating to a domain license. The End of Support for Version 9 was Dec 31, 2021.
