Visual Studio activation snapin

[Eruthon]

Hi,

is there a possibility to create a snapin to automatically activate Visual Studio Enterprise in already deployed PCs?

According to this document its possible to activate VS Ent by command line. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/install/automatically-apply-product-keys-when-deploying-visual-studio?view=vs-2019

So to answer your question, yes you can deploy a windows batch file that calls the necessary command to activate VS Pro as long as you have the activation key. In your batch file you can confirm its installed by looking at the error level. If EL 0 is returned then the activation was stored correctly.
