SYMPTOMS
When you double-click the Licensing icon in Control Panel produces the following error message:

No Services have been registered to use Licensing.

NOTE: This does not apply to Windows NT 4.0.



RESOLUTION
The FilePrintkey in the Licensing portion of the Windows NT registry has been removed. Follow these steps to install the FilePrintkey back in the Registry.

WARNING: Using Registry Editor incorrectly can cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall your operating system. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the incorrect use of Registry Editor can be resolved. Use Registry Editor at your own risk.

If you currently have another working Windows NT computer you can restore the Fileprint key from the working computer by performing the following steps:  From the working Windows NT computer, start Registry Editor (Regedt32.exe) and select the following subkey:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LicenseInfo

 With the LicenseInfo Key selected, click Save Key from the Registry menu to save the LicenceInfo Key to a file (for example, A:\Licenseinfo.tmp). Then take the floppy disk to the problem Windows NT computer and start Registry Editor (Regedt32.exe) and select the following subkey:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LicenseInfo

 With the LicenseInfo Key selected, click Restore from the Registry menu to restore the working LicenceInfo Key (for example, A:\Licenseinfo.tmp).

If there is not another Windows NT computer available, you can manually add the FilePrint key in the Registry by performing the following steps:  Start Registry Editor (Regedt32.exe) and select the following subkey:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LicenseInfo
