Microsoft Azure – Fetch License Details of Azure Servers

In this article, we’ll fetch the details of all Azure Virtual Machine License Details within the Subscription using the Azure PowerShell Module Script. What we can achieve with the script? We will fetch of details of Azure VM which has License and also we also fetch the details like where Azure VM without any License or License not activated. The Script we execute will all store the Server’s information in a CSV file.

This script will help in finding the list of Servers where the License is not activated and further helps to remediate.

Implementation :

Follow the below steps to fetch license details of Azure servers:

Step 1: Log in to Azure.

Step 2: Access the cloud shell from the azure portal and select PowerShell

Step 3: Create a new file using the touch filename.ps1

touch vmlicense-script.ps1

Step 4: Use the following command to code in the created file

code ./vmlicense-script.ps1

• Copy and Paste the following code into the file and save the file.

Azure PowerShell Script:

$Data = @()
$Subscription="Add Subscription Name Here"
Set-AzureRmContext -SubscriptionName "$Subscription" | Out-Null
$RGs = Get-AzureRMResourceGroup

foreach ($RG in $RGs) {
    $VMs = Get-AzureRmVM -ResourceGroupName $RG.ResourceGroupName
    foreach($VM in $VMs) {
        if (!$VM.LicenseType) {
            $LicenseType = "No_License"
        }
        else {
                $LicenseType = $VM.LicenseType 
        }

        $VMCustom = New-Object System.Object
        
        $VMCustom | Add-Member -Type NoteProperty -Name VMName -Value $VM.Name
        $VMCustom | Add-Member -Type NoteProperty -Name Subscription -Value $Subscription
        $VMCustom | Add-Member -Type NoteProperty -Name RGNAME -Value $VM.ResourceGroupName
        $VMCustom | Add-Member -Type NoteProperty -Name Location -Value $VM.Location
        $VMCustom | Add-Member -Type NoteProperty -Name OSType -Value $VM.StorageProfile.OSDisk.OSType
        $VMCustom | Add-Member -Type NoteProperty -Name LicenseType -Value $LicenseType

        $VMCustom
        $Data += $VMCustom
    } 
}

$Data | Export-CSV "./VMlicense.csv" -Delimiter ";" -NoTypeInformation
