- [X] Parameter-less run
- [X] Drag'n drop run
- [X] Locally saved Client-ID (Note: Check out [Client-ID encryption](#Client-ID-Encryption))
## Columns added
It will keep the existing columns and add/replace these columns in the outputted file.
- `Name`
- `Model`
- `Manufacturer`
- `Warranty End`
Example:
```csv
Serial Number, Name, Model, Manufacturer, Warranty End
001DUMMY, THINKPAD-L480-TYPE-20LS-20LT, 20LTS5SP00, Lenovo, 24/10/2021 00:00:00
```
## Usage
> Note: The `get-lenovo-warranty.ps1` and `get-lenovo-warranty.exe` is referred to as `.ps1` and `.exe`, respectively.
### Download
Either download the [get-lenovo-warranty.ps1](/get-lenovo-warranty.ps1) script from this repository.
Or download the latest windows executable from the [Releases](https://github.com/vtfk/lenovo-pc-warranty-check/releases/latest) page.
### First time setup
1. Double-click the `.exe` or run the `.ps1` script with Powershell.
2. It will check for the required modules, they will most likely not exist. Type "A" when the question to install appears.
3. Then it asks for your ClientID. Enter your Lenovo Client-ID, this is provided by your Lenovo Representative.
4. Follow one of the following steps
### Run with drag'n drop
> Note: Only supported by the `.exe` file.
1. Drag your `.xlsx` or `.csv` file onto the `.exe` file.
2. Now wait for it to finish
3. When done, it will output the file to `{original-file-name}-updated.xlsx` or `{original-file-name}-updated.csv`, depending on the input.
### Run without parameters
1. Double-click the `.exe` or run the `.ps1` script with Powershell.
2. Open the Excel or CSV file.
- If your computer supports it, an open file dialog will be shown. Select the `.xlsx` file or `.csv`, containing at least a `Serial Number` column.
(If a `Model` column is present it will only import serials where `Model = Lenovo` or is blank).
- If not it will ask for a file path in the terminal. Either drop a file on the terminal or manually enter the path.
3. Now wait for it to finish
4. When done, it will output the file to `{original-file-name}-updated.xlsx` or `{original-file-name}-updated.csv`, depending on the input.
