APPLIES TO


 * Microsoft Systems Management Server 2.0 Standard Edition

This article was previously published under Q214967



SYMPTOMS
When you select and then clear the This Product is a Suite Parent option while using Licadmin.exe (the Software Metering console), you receive the following error message:

You have entered an invalid program name.

Valid extensions are .exe, dll, bin, mod, tsk, scr.

Invalid characters are \/:*?"<>|



CAUSE
This behavior occurs because when you originally specify the product as a Suite Parent while adding a new product in the Software Metering console, the file is renamed with an .sui extension. If you then clear the This Product is a Suite Parent option, the extension still identifies the product as a Suite Parent with an .sui extension.



WORKAROUND
To work around this issue, manually change the product name back to its original extension.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in Microsoft Systems Management Server version 2.0.
