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\
