Document:Fix PowerShell command for decoding DeveloperData

[DLSinnocence]

Updated PowerShell command to decode base64 string correctly.

Changes

• fixed the PowerShell example so the base64 decode runs inside ForEach-Object
  instead of piping into a static method call
• resolved the parser error: ExpressionsMustBeFirstInPipeline
• ensured the DeveloperData value from Unity_lic.ulf can be decoded as intended
• improved the command so it works when copied directly in PowerShell

Notes

• this is a documentation/example fix only
• no runtime behavior or package logic was changed

Checklist

• Read the contribution guide and accept the
  code of conduct
• Readme (updated or not needed)
• Tests (added, updated or not needed)

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Documentation
  • Updated Windows PowerShell activation snippet: now reads the license file more reliably and uses a multi-step base64 extraction plus UTF-8 decoding flow to produce the license serial more consistently, improving activation guidance and reducing edge-case failures.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Refactors the Windows PowerShell snippet in GitLab activation docs: reads .\Unity_lic.ulf, extracts the base64 DeveloperData via a multiline Get-Content | Select-String | ForEach-Object flow, stores it in $b64, then base64-decodes and UTF-8 decodes to produce the serial.

Poem

🐰 Hopped through files, a tiny code ballet,
I caught the base64 and led the way,
Decoded bytes in UTF-8 light,
A relative path made the snippet right,
Docs now hop forward — nibble, then play.
