License?

[Rainer Friedrich]

Why do I get the Status -> Unlicensed?

Using newest release PoshPro on VSCode portable.

Name Value ---- ----- PSVersion 5.1.17763.316 PSEdition Desktop PSCompatibleVersions {1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0...} BuildVersion 10.0.17763.316 CLRVersion 4.0.30319.42000 WSManStackVersion 3.0 PSRemotingProtocolVersion 2.3 SerializationVersion 1.1.0.1

After a restart it shows licensed, but if I try to start the WPF Designer, it get this:

"Running the contributed command:'powershell.showWinFormDesigner' failed."

Do you have .NET 4.7.2 installed?

[Rainer Friedrich]

Yes, tried to install 4.7.2, installer said that 4.7.2 or newer is installed

[Adam Driscoll]

Can you open a PS1 file and run Show-WinFormDesigner -CodeFilePath .\test.ps1 -DesignerFilePath .\test.designer.ps1 to see what happens?

[Rainer Friedrich]

in the terminal?

"Show-WinFormDesigner : Please visit PoshTools.com to purchase a license or use Send-PoshProToolsTrialLicense to receive a trial key. In Zeile:1 Zeichen:1 + Show-WinFormDesigner -CodeFilePath .\test.ps1 -DesignerFilePath .\tes ... + ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (:) [Show-WinFormDesigner], Exception + FullyQualifiedErrorId : System.Exception,PowerShellToolsPro.Cmdlets.ShowWinFormDesignerCommand"

I have the portable Version if VSC, but that should be no problem, it is the official portable version and everything else runs well.

I can confirm this same issue. I'm on Windows 10 1803 update which includes .NET 4.7.2 (there is no installer for Windows 10 1803).

As well, I have VS 2019 installed and use .NET 4.7.2 with it currently so I know it is there and functioning.

I am using Code Insiders Edition :

I tested running the example command and it does allow the designer to open without errors. It is just the status still shows unlicensed for me.

[Adam Driscoll]

It is likely a problem with the portable version compatibility with this extension. I will have to look into it.

[Rainer Friedrich]

Would be fine, so I could use my license :-)

[Adam Driscoll]

Can you guys please try the 4.2.2 version? It's on the gallery.

Here are some instructions for installing your license: https://ironmansoftware.com/powershell-tools-for-visual-studio-and-powershell-pro-tools-4-2-2-release-notes/

It shows "Unlicensed" but runs the Designer.

"EndDate : 14.01.2020 09:01:57 SeatNumber : 1 IsTrial : False Status : Unlicensed"

[Adam Driscoll]

Strange. I will look into that. Has this unblocked you?

[robert titus]

after installing 4.2.2 the issue is resolved, designer comes right up. thank you!

[Adam Driscoll]

Awesome. Thanks!

[Rainer Friedrich]
