Using DLM Automation Powershell cmdlets in CircleCI pipeline

Hi,

I'm trying to set up a CircleCI pipeline to deploy a MSSQL database to AWS using CircleCI and I get a System.Security.Cryptography.CryptographicException: Access is denied. error when invoking any of the DLM Automation Powershell cmdlets.
Do you know what can it be? Is it a missing certificate issue or rather an admin privilege issue?
I do not have the error if I run the cmdlet on my office PC, but there I got the full SQL Toolbelt installed.

This is the error:
Register-DlmSerialNumber, DLM Automation 2.1.3.2175, Copyright c Red Gate Software Ltd 2014-2018

Use of this functionality requires a SQL Toolbelt license.
If you are unsure of your current user license entitlement please contact licensing@red-gate.com
