SYMPTOMS
When you set up a Software Metering server in Systems Management Server (SMS) 2.0, the installation may not succeed and the following error message may be generated in the Licsvcfg.log file:

INFO: installation destination = '\\ \LicMtr'

Checking for the existence of a License Server share \\ \LicMtr

ERROR: FAILED TO INSTALL LICENSE SERVER ' '



CAUSE
The Software Metering installation process checks for the existence of the LicMtr share before installing a Software Metering server. The LicMtr share may exist if you previously started to install a Software Metering server but you stopped the installation after the LicMtr share was created but before the installation process was finished.



WORKAROUND
Manually delete the LicMtr share. The Software Metering server installation process checks the site control file to verify successful installation; if the installation was incomplete, the installation is retried automatically retried.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Systems Management Server version 2.0.
