Assign RDM License using Powershell cmdlets

I've created a feature request. It will be prioritized and scheduled. We will let you know when this is available in RDM.

Best regards,

I also look forward to this one.

Ran into the same issue. Look forward to when this is implemented.

Is there any update on this issue?

Hello,

This is still under investigation. I will ask to bump up the priority of this ticket.

Thank you for your patience.

Best regards,

Hello,

The improvement has been released in the new RDM PowerShell module version 2021.2.0.16 available on PowerShell Gallery. Please note that this new module is supported only with RDM version 2021.2.x or higher.

Here is the online documentation on how to install this new module.

Hi,

Thanks for the update! Could you please provide a basic example on how to assign a license using the New-RDMUser cmdlet? I could not find any hints from the documentation or the built-in help provided with the Powershell module.

Hello,

Here's what it'd look like :

# create user
$u = New-RDMUser <You already have that>
# fetch license from serial
$l = Get-RDMLicense -Serial "<serial>"
# get the assignation
$userlic = (Get-RDMLicense $l.License).Users | Where-Object{$_.UserID -eq $u.ID}
$userlic.IsMember = $True
# save changes
Set-RDMLicense $l

I hope this helps!

Hi the license assignment isn't saving for me.

PS C:\Scripts> $userlic = (Get-RDMLicense $l.License).Users | Where-Object {$_.UserID -eq $t.ID}
PS C:\Scripts> $userlic.IsMember
False
PS C:\Scripts> $userlic

Description :
HasActiveLicenseForSameProduct : False
IsAdministrator : False
IsMember : False
Name : Domain\Jim.Shelton
Serial : XXXX
UserId : cd2578c5-cd6f-4128-b47b-21f424341f3d

PS C:\Scripts> $userlic.IsMember = $True
PS C:\Scripts> Set-RDMLicense $l
PS C:\Scripts> Update-RDMUI
PS C:\Scripts> $userlic

Description :

PS C:\Scripts> $userlic = (Get-RDMLicense $l.License).Users | Where-Object {$_.UserID -eq $t.ID}
PS C:\Scripts> $userlic

Hello Ryan,

You're right, I made a tiny mistake.
Here's the corrected script

# create user
$u = New-RDMUser <You already have that>
# fetch license from serial
$l = Get-RDMLicense -Serial "<serial>"
# get the assignation
$userlic = $l.Users | Where-Object{$_.UserID -eq $u.ID}
$userlic.IsMember = $True
# save changes
Set-RDMLicense $l

My mistake was that we were working on a reference of a copy of the actual value... Anyway long story short, this should work.
This will also be available on our Github : GitHub - Devolutions/RDMSamples-ps: Remote Desktop Manager (RDM) samples of powershell code

I hope this helps!

Have a great one.
Best regards,

That was it. Thanks for the reply!

Hello!

Very good! Thanks a lot for the feedback, I'm glad I could help.

Best regards,
