Interesting, I haven't come across any differences due to licensing 
options yet. I'll keep that in mind as I continue to work on this code. 
Thanks!

The differences I was referring to are things like a function parameter 
taking completely differently-formatted values in 2008R2 vs. 2012, such 
as WMI object selectors in some functions. Microsoft's documentation 
will only describe one of the variants, and it varies from function to 
function whether it describes 2008R2 or 2012.

Based on this thread and a discussion on IRC today, I think I should 
entirely remove support for the V1 API. Since 2012's V2 support is 
incomplete, that would effectively mean dropping support for both 
2008R2 and 2012, leaving 2012R2 and newer fully supported.
