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\ \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 Hierarchy\ \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."
