     @tost so i resorted to powershell because i was unable to store the output of a command inside a variable (i was trying to get wmic csproduct get UUID originally)
     
     but powershell scripts aren't executed on double-click by default + u need to configure the exec policy therefore batch that invokes the ps1:
     
     https://pastebin.com/TAf9USpF
     
     and the ps1:
     
     https://pastebin.com/urNDW9zN
     
     there's some code there for future expansion of other things: tsince i have arrays in a language (for once, internal POSIX sh pseudoarrays cries of angst) i tried to both create all dirs for future functions and the exec functions inside arrays/loops, instead of duplicating each path check code everytime
     
     my idea is to get licenses output by double clicking and have a name like <UUID>-lic.txt so no files are overwritten when i move it around several computers and each file identifies each computer
     
     i tried with MAC addresses but i didn't find a powershell equivalent command (wmic is so handy but it's going deprecated)
     
     even after replacing ! with -Not it's still not working so im sad
     
     advice greatly welcome! :celgoldcrystalheart:

     @tost aaa i discovered the error of my ways: variables in powershell are properly local to each function so the uuid function needs to be declared under main()

     @tost it works!
     https://pastebin.com/T3ZyQdLa
     
     im still without a good way to
     1. get the MAC address
     2. fail if the platform isn't windows
     3. redirect the output to $PSScriptRoot\winlic\txtfile.txt
     4. have the linter stop yelling at me (PSScriptAnalyzer)
