Requiring license acceptance for scripts

  • Article

License Acceptance is not supported for scripts. However, the scenario where a script depends on a module that requires license acceptance is supported.

The PowerShellGet script commands support the parameter AcceptLicense that behaves as though user saw the license. If AcceptLicense is not specified the user is shown the license.txt file for dependent module and prompted to accept the license.

EXAMPLES

Example 1: Install Script with dependencies requiring license acceptance

Script 'ScriptRequireLicenseAcceptance' depends on module 'ModuleRequireLicenseAcceptance'. User is prompted to Accept License.

PS> Install-Script -Name ScriptRequireLicenseAcceptance
