INTRODUCTION
This article describes how to automatically grant a new Desktop Standard PolicyMaker license to all the Group Policy objects (GPOs) that contain PolicyMaker items in a single domain.



MORE INFORMATION
GPOs that contain PolicyMaker items are not automatically updated when a new PolicyMaker license is imported. Each GPO must be updated individually by using the new license. To manually grant a new PolicyMaker license to all the GPOs that contain PolicyMaker items is time-consuming. However, you can also automatically grant a new license to all the GPOs that contain PolicyMaker items. To do this, you must use the PMLicenseDist.js script. To download the PMLicenseDist.js script, visit the following Microsoft Web site:

ftp://ftp.desktopstandard.com/tools/PMLicenseDist.js

How to use the PMLicenseDist.js script
The PMLicenseDist.js script must be run by an administrator who has Write access on a computer that has the PolicyMaker client and Group Policy Management Console (GPMC) installed.

The PMLicenseDist.js script uses the following syntax:

PMLicenseDist.js [ ] [/Replace] [/AutoProf]

You can use the following parameters together with the PMLicenseDist.js script:   

Use this optional parameter to specify a Domain Name System (DNS) domain name other than the default domain. /Replace

Use this optional parameter to grant a new PolicyMaker license to all GPOs that contain PolicyMaker items in a single domain. When you use this parameter, the old license is replaced with the new license.

Note The PolicyMaker license file is located at the following location:

%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Application Data\AutoProf\PolicyMaker\License.xml

 /AutoProf

Use this parameter on PolicyMaker products that are earlier than the following versions:  PolicyMaker Standard Edition 2.1 PolicyMaker Software Update 1.3 

Note The PMLicenseDist.js script does not localize the Application Data folder. To localize this script for a computer, edit the szAppData variable at the top of the script to match the name of the Application Data folder on the computer.
