Action to run DLV, output into file and parse the InstallationID.

delete c:\test\dlv.txt
waithidden cmd.exe /C cscript c:\windows\system32\slmgr.vbs /dlv >> c:\test\dlv.txt
parameter "Installation ID"="{preceding text of first "|" of following text of first "|Installation ID: " of  substrings separated by "|Name: " whose (it contains "Client-ESU-Year" ) of concatenation "|" of lines of file "c:\test\dlv.txt"}"

Relevance to further parse other elements out of the dlv.txt file

q: substrings separated by "|Name: " whose (it contains "Client-ESU-Year" ) of concatenation "|" of lines of file "c:\test\dlv.txt"

q: preceding text of first "|" of following text of first "|Installation ID: " of  substrings separated by "|Name: " whose (it contains "Client-ESU-Year" ) of concatenation "|" of lines of file "c:\test\dlv.txt"

q: preceding text of first "|" of following text of first "|Activation ID: " of  substrings separated by "|Name: " whose (it contains "Client-ESU-Year" ) of concatenation "|" of lines of file "c:\test\dlv.txt"

q: preceding text of first "|" of following text of first "|Extended PID: " of  substrings separated by "|Name: " whose (it contains "Client-ESU-Year" ) of concatenation "|" of lines of file "c:\test\dlv.txt"

Relevance to do the same via WMI instead of inside of an action:

q: (string value of property "OfflineInstallationId" of it) of select objects "name, licensestatus, OfflineInstallationId, ID  from softwarelicensingproduct where LicenseStatus >0" whose (string value of property "name" of it contains "Client-ESU-Year" AND integer value of property "LicenseStatus" of it >1 ) of wmi

    q: selects "* from softwarelicensingproduct where LicenseStatus >0" of wmi

    q: (string value of property "OfflineInstallationId" of it) of select objects "name, licensestatus, OfflineInstallationId, ID  from softwarelicensingproduct where LicenseStatus >0" whose (string value of property "name" of it contains "Client-ESU-Year" AND integer value of property "LicenseStatus" of it =0 ) of wmi

    q: select objects "name, licensestatus from softwarelicensingproduct" whose (string value of property "name" of it contains "Client-ESU-Year" AND integer value of property "LicenseStatus" of it =1 ) of wmi

    q: not exists (selects "LicenseStatus from SoftwareLicensingProduct WHERE (PartialProductKey is not null) AND (Name like 'Windows%25') AND (Name like '%25Client-ESU-Year1%25') AND (Description like '%25MAK%25') AND (PartialProductKey like 'WJ8T9')" of wmis) whose (integer value of it = 1) 
    (note = 1 is licensed..  for installed but not activated, consider >1)
