Open License File - not able to read license

[DataTraveler1]

Describe the bug

Any attempt to add a valid license to PowerShell Pro Tools through the 'Open License File' option will fail due to a bug

To Reproduce

1. Possess a valid license.txt for PowerShell Pro Tools
2. Have PowerShell Pro Tools VS Code extension installed but unlicensed
3. In VS Code, select the 'Command Palette' under 'View' (Ctrl+Shift+P)
4. Use the command 'PowerShell Pro Tools: Open License File' to import your valid license.txt
5. Receive below error dialog. License import process does not complete.

⚠This issue may also be impacting the "Install License" button from the extension Welcome Page

Workaround

1. Open license.txt in notepad and copy the entire contents into your clipboard (Ctrl+A, Ctrl+C)
2. Navigate to the PowerShell Pro Tools extension settings and manually enter the license data into the dialog (see screenshot below)

Expected behavior

The valid license file should be accepted and imported without error.

This issue has been mentioned on Ironman Software Forums. There might be relevant details there:

Install-PoshProToolsLicense can also be used to install the license, of course

⚠Be sure to note that the -License parameter requires the content of the license file and not a path to the license.txt file.

@DataTraveler1 - Can you send me the license you are using via email or something? I can't reproduce this.

@adamdriscoll - A sample license file has been sent along with an animated .gif to more clearly demonstrate the issue

@DataTraveler1 Thanks!

I've removed Open License File. Install License Key should be used instead.
