SYMPTOMS
========
Software Metering is set up on the site but the clients are not responding to
license limitations and show an error in their liccli.log:
"ERROR: Registry key missing or corrupt."
MORE INFORMATION
================
In setting up Software Metering on a site with no server defined as a site
software metering server, the error above will appear in the client's liccli.log
if the Software Metering agent is installed on a client. This occurs because
Software Metering will not install a value for a registry key indicating the
License servers in HKLM\Software\Microsoft\SMS\Client\Sites\<site
code>\Client Components\License Metering, and will also be missing its
necessary sub-key.
To resolve this problem:
1. Go into the SMS Administrator console.
2. Right-click on SMS\Site Database<site name>\Site Hierarchy\<site
name>\Site Settings\Site Systems\<site Server\
3. Go to Software Metering Server.
4. Check the box that reads "Use this site system as a software metering
server."
