POS-44 Add scripts to read license activation type from PD#15
Conversation

Pull request overview
Adds a new Jamf extension attribute script that reads the Parallels Desktop license activation type (e.g., LIC_KEY, SSO, MASTER_KEY_TEMP, LIC_KEY_TEMP, NOT_ACTIVATED) by querying prlsrvctl info --license --json and extracting the activation_type field via plutil. Wraps the result in a <result> tag for Jamf consumption, with fallbacks when the value is missing or Parallels Desktop is not installed.
Changes:
- New script
jamf/extensions/get-license-activation-type.xmlreporting the license activation type. - Refreshes the license before reading via
prlsrvctl update-license. - Handles missing activation type and missing Parallels Desktop installation with explicit
<result>messages.

i would put this as a sub command as the exit code if failed could interfere with the jamf

is this a new field? on my macOS i get this
license_activation_type=$(prlsrvctl info --license --json | plutil -extract activation_type raw -o - -)
: Could not extract value, error: No value at that key path or invalid key path: activation_type
while the script would still work, the logs would be a bit strange

Yes, activation_type is a new field in PD27 (not yet released)
