Automate "Match Production Licenses" in Sandboxes

[mkreth]

Problem statement

After acquiring or changing Salesforce licenses these initially are available only in the production org. To enable new or changed licenses in a sandbox requires to go into the sandbox, navigate to the Company Information page and to press the "Match Production Licenses" button. When using a complex sandbox setup (think DEV+TEST+QA+PREPROD+TRAINING and maybe a second parallel track for application maintenance or multiple/many DEV sandboxes) this can easily lead to sandboxes being forgotten and still working with outdated licenses. This could lead not only to operational problems (due to limits) but also to deployment problems when required licenses are not available in a sandbox.

Feature Request

Provide a command to automate clicking the "Match Production Licenses" button in a sandbox. This would allow to make this process more efficient, this could be scripted and hence would be less prone to human error.
