ACT-02Command line: status, print-env, remove

What this test proves

The Activator command line activates, reports, prints the environment line and removes the license, and the library can use what it writes.

How it is tested

  1. the shipped dicomkit-activate.exe 1.0.1 activate - --output <temp>\license.lic --yes --json (key on standard input)
  2. status --file <license.lic> --json: expect status active, tier Pro, a licensee and an expiry date
  3. status --file <license.lic> --print-env: expect one line DICOMKIT_LICENSE_KEY=<signed token> (only the variable name is recorded)
  4. New processes open ct_mono16_64x64.dcm with that token in DICOMKIT_LICENSE_KEY, and with DICOMKIT_LICENSE_FILE naming the file: expect ActivePro
  5. remove --file <license.lic> --yes --json: expect removed=true and the file gone

Expected result for each license type
