GAM update license

[Mike McLoughlin]

Hi

I (thought I) had established this command as a way to transfer a student cohort to the Gmail-only licence but it is now showing a permissions error:

gam user x...@x.uk update license 1010070004 from 1010070001

ERROR: Connection error: [Errno 13] Permission denied: 'E:\\GAMConfig\\gamcache\\licensing.googleapis.comdiscoveryrestversion=v1,0d85bdf4284700df925abfa6c8a4b424'

This definitely was working following the recent installation of GAM7 and nothing has changed config-wise since then, which is odd.

Full disclosure, I didn't keep a copy of the command I tested so this reattempt at the syntax may have introduced a typo of some kind.

Any nudges would be appreciated.

Kind regards

- Mike

We deleted the discovery document: E:\\GAMConfig\\gamcache\\licensing.googleapis.comdiscoveryrestversion=v1,0d85bdf4284700df925abfa6c8a4b424'

The update license command then worked as a new dicscovery document was downloaded.
