The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Systems Management Server version 2.0
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SYMPTOMS
========
When you select and then clear the This Product is a Suite Parent option while
using Licadmin.exe (the Software Metering console), you receive the following
error message:
You have entered an invalid program name.
Valid extensions are .exe, dll, bin, mod, tsk, scr.
Invalid characters are
\/:*?"<>|
CAUSE
=====
This behavior occurs because when you originally specify the product as a Suite
Parent while adding a new product in the Software Metering console, the file is
renamed with an .sui extension. If you then clear the This Product is a Suite
Parent option, the extension still identifies the product as a Suite Parent with
an .sui extension.
WORKAROUND
==========
To work around this issue, manually change the product name back to its original
extension.
STATUS
======
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Systems Management
Server version 2.0.
