SYMPTOMS
After you shut down your -Microsoft Windows 95-based or Microsoft Windows 98-based computer that has the Systems Management Server (SMS) version 2.0 License Metering client agent installed, you may receive the following 9202 status message for the LICENSE_METERING component in the SMS Administrator console:

The software metering client on the computer "computer name" (user "user name") encountered an error and is performing an abnormal shut down.



CAUSE
This problem can occur on a saturated LAN or WAN, or when the NetBEUI protocol is being used. SMS only supports license metering over TCP/IP and IPX/SPX.



WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, improve network utilization to eliminate saturation and verify that the license metering clients have TCP/IP or IPX/SPX installed as their default protocol.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.
