Problem preventing Windows from checking the licence?

One of our remote locations server running Microsoft Windows 2003 Server Standard edition had a strange error last week. Upon logging in, the system gave this error:

A Problem is Preventing Windows from Accurately Checking the License for this Computer

Even after you try to validate the license, the system tells you the activation was successful however for some odd reason, it still asks you to shutdown the server as there is a problem with the validation.

To fix that issue, open command prompt and register some of the DLL files associated with this issue.

Type each line one by one at command prompt and you will get a message saying DLL file registered successfully.

  1. regsvr32 licwmi.dll
  2. regsvr32 regwizc.dll
  3. regsvr32 licdll.dll
  4. regsvr32 jscript.dll
  5. regsvr32 vbscript.dll
  6. regsvr32 msxml.dll
  7. regsvr32 shdocvw.dll
  8. regsvr32 softpub.dll
  9. regsvr32 wintrust.dll
  10. regsvr32 initpki.dll
  11. regsvr32 dssenh.dll
  12. regsvr32 rsaenh.dll
  13. regsvr32 gpkcsp.dll
  14. regsvr32 sccbase.dll
  15. regsvr32 slbcsp.dll
  16. regsvr32 cryptdlg.dll

This step can be done in safe mode or in regular mode, be sure to restart the server after all DLL files have been registered. If you are having this issue on Windows XP PC, then this solution may work as well. As always, please be careful when troubleshooting and fixing problems on live production systems, always have a backup plan as I am not responsible for anything you do on your servers/PCs, even if fixes the problem.

If you have further questions or concerns, please be sure to post them in our Technology Forum!
