License Logging Service Is Not Running on the Target Computer (290616)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows 2000 Server
- Microsoft Windows 2000 Advanced Server
This article was previously published under Q290616 SYMPTOMS
When you attempt to install licenses by using the Microsoft Management Console (MMC) License Logging Service (LLS) snap-in, you may receive the following error message:
The License Logging Service is not running on the target machine, or the target machine is not accessible.
When you open Event Manager, you may also notice the following error event:
Error 900: Server License Logging Service stopped!
CAUSE
This behavior occurs because you did not configure the licensing computer correctly; you have the incorrect server listed as the licensing server.
NOTE: In MMC, LLS may appear to be running, however, when you attempt to cycle the service from a command prompt, you receive the following error message:
Error 1060: The specified service does not exist as an installed service.
RESOLUTION
To resolve this behavior:
- Start Active Directory Sites and Services, expand the Sites folder, click Default, click First, and then click Site-Name.
- Right-click Licensing Site Settings, and then click Properties.
- Change the licensing computer to the primary domain controller (PDC) Emulator in the current domain.
NOTE: The PDC Emulator should be the license server. - Restart the computer to start the appropriate services, and then install the licenses.
