## Details

PowerShell module to get and set Visual Studio Community Edition license expiration date in the registry. Visual Studio 2015, 2017 and 2019 are supported.

Based on [Dmitrii](https://stackoverflow.com/users/10046552/dmitrii)'s answer to this question: [Visual Studio Community 2017 is a 30 day trial?](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/43390466/visual-studio-community-2017-is-a-30-day-trial/51570570#51570570)

## Forked version benefits
This forked version includes the source to build MSI Installers that will:
  1. Install the module in the well-known Powershell path using embedded files for non-connected environments
  2. Create a scheduled task to run it every night as SYSTEM.

The MSI Installers are built using the [WixSharp](https://github.com/oleg-shilo/wixsharp) project, the task scheduler manipulation is made using [TaskScheduler](https://github.com/dahall/taskscheduler), a .NET Wrapper for the Task Scheduler COM Interface. 

## Simplified Forked version usage
 1. Run the MSI based on the platform of your choice found in Releases
 2. A task, visible as administrator, is created in the 'VSCELicense' folder of the local scheduled tasks library. Your can change its schedule if needed, based on operational constraints

## Original Module Usage

1. Download/clone this repository
2. Run PowerShell.exe as Administrator
3. Import module:

    Assuming that you cloned/downloaded this repo to `C:\VSCELicense`

   ```pwsh
   Import-Module -Name 'C:\VSCELicense\VSCELicense.psd1'
   ```

    If you get `execution of scripts is disabled on this system` message, you can temporarily override PowerShell execution policy by running

   ```pwsh
   Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Scope Process
   ```

    See PowerShell documentation for more details:

    - [Set-ExecutionPolicy](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/microsoft.powershell.security/set-executionpolicy)
    - [About Execution Policies](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/microsoft.powershell.core/about/about_execution_policies)
