Control Panel won't open/Software License Service fails to run

I'm not sure what happened, I had left my computer on sleep for about 4 hours, I came back and I was getting these UAC messages even when I was opening elevated mode for task manager. Soon I realized my control panel won't open. After some googling, the problem was apparently linked to a service called Software License Service and it was either caused by virus(but I have avast..) or files that somehow got corrupted. I had: updated my system using Thinkvantage system update + did a system backup+ ran memtest86+ + turned off AMT + turned off Intel onscreen display. That's all I did before this happened.The error code I get when I try to start control panel through cmd is Error 34 (don't know what this means). And Software license service won't start.
*control panel opens fine in safe mode
*ran sfc, there were problems that 'couldn't be repaired'
1. Is there any way to fix this, ie is there a hotfix available or something I can just download and install?
2.Any idea what might have possibly caused this?
3. I did a quick restore using the backup I did and the problem was still not fixed. Will a full restore help or will I have to resort to factoy restore?
Thanks. *having so many problems with the new thinkpad + vista =/*
I have a T400(2764-CTO) 32 bit on vista business.

In windows vista control Panel won't open

in windows vista control panel icloud is there but won't open. how do i fix this? also photo stream is not working right.

Ok, I found another thread on here talking about this and in the end I had to manually delete everything in c:\program files\quicktime & in quicktime alternative and all the quicktime files and folders in c:\windows\system32
Some of those files dated back to 2003!
I reinstalled and everything is ok now.

Boot Camp Control Panel Won't Open in Win 7 with 3.1 BC 64bit Drivers

I have an early MacPro running both SL and Win7 64 bit, each OS on a dedicated drive. I installed BC 3.0 drivers previously without problem. I upgraded the BC drivers to 3.1.
Now, if I attempt to open the BC Control Panel, I get an error message stating I "don't have privileges to modify the startup disk." I have administrative privileges! I checked the properties of the Control Panel (resides in Win folder/sytem 32) and ensured that I have full user control. Also, I tried to open the Control Panel in compatibility mode with no success---same error message.
Anyone with a similar issue?? Anyone with a suggestion to resolve the problem.

I'm having same issue. I don't trust that simply adjusting Digital Vibrance is returning my colors to normal. This adjustmet just makes things grayer to me.
Problems started after:
Upgrading SL (10.6.2) on Mac side
Installing Bootcamp 3.0 from SL disk onto win 7.
Downloading and updating Bootcamp 3.1
Colors all look 16 bit and saturated, though nvidia control panel says color depth = 32 bit.
I've tried:
Rolling back my driver to previous settings
manually downloading and installing both nvidia driver versions separately (181.22 32bit + 197.13 64bit)
Also tried going to control panel checking for driver updates (says latest is installed).
I own eye-one display calibration hardware but don't want to go through this process until internal functioning appears normal.
Any suggestions out there for me?
Thanks,
Mike

ITunes won't open - Software License Agreement

I've had iTunes 7.0 since the summer with no problems. I jsut got an iPod for Christmas and on Saturday I started having this problem. Everytime I open iTunes a Software icense Agreement comes up. It aks me to agree or decline. Either way(if i choose agree or decline) iTunes doesn't open. A thing comes up saying iTunes can't open sorry for the inconvenience.
I've been looking on these forums and loads of people seem to have the same problem. I tried Ewido or something but it didn't help. I've uninstalled and deleted iTunes and re-installed it many times but I'm having the sme problem.
Any ideas?

perhaps you should check your processes tab and see if itunes and quicktime is there? if quicktime did not get installed, itunes will not work, which is a common issue
dont delete your firewall, it protects you from future viral and malware attacks, if you have a good one. Go get zone alarm its free and works good

ICloud 2.0 Control Panel won't load on Win 7 32-bit

I installed iCloud 2.0. The install seems to work but the following issues occur:
iCloud control panel won't open
iCloud icon in notifications area won't open iCloud
Outlook 2010 won't open, instead it hangs in the splash screen with "Processing..."
iCloud is running according to Task Manager
I've uninstalled and reinstalled multiple times with the same result.

Here's what worked for me after looking around this discussion board:
Uninstall iCloud
Reboot
Make sure that if you're using a web proxy (many corporate accounts require these) that you don't use a proxy script file (.pac file)
For 32-bit Windows 7:
In Computer, open Local Disk C:\ or whichever drive your program files are installed on.
On a 32-bit version of Windows 7, open the "Program Files" folder.
Open the "Common Files" folder.
Open the "Apple" folder.
Open the "Apple Application Support" folder.
Find the APSDaemon.exe file and set it Run As Administrator
Reinstall iCloud 2.0.
Note: APSDaemon.exe causes iTunes to hang on quit. I had it renamed to disable it but it's required by iCloud.

I re-installed my Mac OS, but now Elements won't open. Licensing stopped working. Error code 150:30

I re-installed my Mac OS, but now Elements won't open. Licensing stopped working. Error code 150:30.
This is Photoshop Elements 8, and I have the original disc with serial number so I can re-install that.
The probelm is I'd need to de-cactivate the serial number before un-installing, and I need to open the programme to do that.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Okay, I've found that this is a recognised problem.

Error "Licensing has stopped working" | Mac OS
and all the solutions tell me to find the folder FlexNet Publisher in my library.
Problem is FlexNet Publisher doesn't seem to exist there. Can't find it anywhere on my hard drive.
Gettting down to the end of that page gives me the following info....
The FlexNet folders and files required to run Adobe applications can become corrupted or have permission problems if moved from one machine to another. They can also be damaged through a Time Machine system restore. FlexNet service licensing failures cannot be resolved by reinstalling the application or by using the Adobe CS5 Cleaner Tool. If permissions issues prevent the FlexNet licensing service from launching, accessing data, or communicating with Adobe processes, a licensing failure occurs.
Well it looks like backing everything up using Time Machine may have caused all this problem. Anyone know how to get Flexnet Publisher back?

Panel won't open the first time

The accordion works fine on this page, but the first panel won't open the first time.
It only opens the second time you click on it.
The other panels are fine....any ideas?

You need to remove defaultPanel: -1 from your script:
<script type="text/javascript">
var acc1 = new Spry.Widget.Accordion("Accordion1", { useFixedPanelHeights: false, defaultPanel: -1 }); </script>
This is near the bottom of your document. You may as well delete this entire line, though, because you have a duplicate below that doesn't have the defaultPanel:-1 variable.

Install Windows 2008 R2 KMS Key Error "0xC004F050 The software licensing service reported that the product key is invalid"

My KMS server is running on Windows Server 2012 R2 and activated by Server 2012 KMS Key.
I would like to use the KMS server to activate many Windows 2008 R2 server, however, Error message "0xC004F050 The software licensing service reported that the product key is invalid" is appear when adding Windows Server 2008R2 KMS Key. The Windows
Server 2008 R2 KMS key is confirmed and validated by Microsoft Telephone service.
Command used:
slmgr /ipk <Windows Server 2008 R2 KMS Key>
Anyone can help? thanks.

Hi Samson,
Based on my research, we need to choose associated KMS key based on the highest product being deployed in the product grouping hierarchy.
To choose the right Volume License key, please refer to this article:
How to Choose the Right Volume License Key for Windows
Please type the cmd "slmgr /dlv" on KMS Host and check if it has been activated successfully.
After configure KMS host, By default these KMS client computers will query DNS and locate your KMS host and activate
KMS Client Setup Keys
To reset computers to be KMS clients type the following at elevated command prompt:
Slmgr.vbs /ipk xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx
Where xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx is the generic VL key from the following link.
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj612867.aspx
For more detailed information to activate KMS client, please refer to the article below:

Actions panel won't open

I'm using Flash CS3. Suddenly, my actions panel won't open,
only the heading of the panel shows. My other panels open up just
fine. When I click on the icon to see the whole actions panel, it
just flashes for a split second.

DOWNGRADE SOLUTION - Adobe Edge Animate 4.1 to 4.0.1
I managed to copy the Application folder from one of the other Desktops that still had the older version.
Initially there was a pathing issue to the newer version (Probably still in regedit) however I just adjusted the Application Folder name and since the path resolves it's all working now on 4.0.1 again.
Adobe has completely changed the symbol Obj in 4.1 so if you are referencing undocumented attributes to symbols in your legacy applications you're in for an interesting day or two upgrading all your scripts. PLAN FOR THIS IN YOUR QUOTE TO A CLIENT if you intend to upgrade any Legacy applications
Only lost 6 hours of development time.

Adobe Application Manager Won't Open and CC Desktop failed to install

I am running Win 7 Ultimate. Adobe Application Manager Won't Open and CC Desktop failed to install on my computer after I signed up for Adobe CC tonight. I am currently using the CS5 suite (perpetual license) and do not want to uninstall any of the programs until I am successfully running the Adobe CC versions. The AAM gives me an error message saying that it failed to open when I select it, and the creative cloud installer fails to install. I have tried restarting my computer. Help? This is very frustrating. I am a student and use this software on a daily basis, and can't afford to not have these programs available when I need them.

SRV2008R2 SP1: Software Protection Service failed to start. RDP not working

Hi folks,
I'm currently working on an issue on a Windows 2008 R2 SP1 Hyper-V Host where RDP from one moment tio the other does not work anymore.
After an investigation I found that the Software Protection Service can't be started. The following events are recorded every few minutes:
Event ID: 1001 - The Software Protection service failed to start. 0x80070002. 6.1.7601.17514
Event ID: 7023 - The Software Protection service terminated with the following error: The system cannot find the file specified.
I searched and found a lot of possible solutions which are shortly listed below:
I have confirmed that the sppsvc.exe file exists and has the proper permissions. Also replaced the file with the same file from another 2008R2 server
Checked the spldr start value via HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\spldr. This is 0 which should be fine.
Checked the sppsvc paths and settings via HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\sppsvc. All are correct.
SFC /Scannow + CHKDSK /r
System restore is (off course) not available
Tried to reactivate the server by recording a different product key. Did not work.
Removed the last batch of Windows Updates that were pushed towards the host. We believed it was caused by this but since you don't always need a host but only the VM's hosted on it it was a while ago since we logged in.
Local firewall enabled and disabled. Also
Netstat does not show any listening ports for RDP (3389)
Changed the port to 3390 but this port is not visible as well
Also RDP from the affected machine to localhost does not work
Since I can't find any more options in fixing this issue I'm wondering if someone else has some ideas which I can try. Otherwise a reinstall needs to be done.
Hope to hear from you

Hi,
Based on your description, I noticed that you have tried lots of ways to solve this issue. On current situation,
would you please let me confirm more details?
Type services.msc in RUN to open Services. Then navigate to Software Protection service. If start it manually, what error message will get?
I’m not sure if RDP issue was caused by the Software Protection service. So, would you please let me know the complete error message when RDP didn’t work? Meanwhile, please
open Event Viewer and follow the path: Applications and Services Logs-> Microsoft-> Windows-> TerminalServices-LocalSessionManager and TerminalServices-RemoteConnectionManager. Please check if can find more clues. Those may help us to go further analyze
RDP issue.
Please
perform a clean boot and check if this issue still exists.
If any update, please feel free to let us know.
Hope this helps.
Best regards,
Justin Gu

Some idea ?

Hello,
Has anything been found out about this? We're running into the same issue except that it's logging every 30 seconds.
Here's some info from the machines and when it's occurring:
It only occurs when someone is connected to the machine through Remote Desktop.
The machines are Amazon EC2 instances.
Seems to only happen on machines that are connecting to RODC's.
Machines have limited connection to RODC's through security groups (machine based firewalls).
They are Windows Server 2012 instances, small and medium instance types. (See instance type details here: http://aws.amazon.com/ec2/instance-types/instance-details/)
Little or no extra software installed. These were spun up from a basic WS2012 image and it started occurring shortly after. There are other machines launched from the same image that do not have this issue.
There are also some other machines connecting to the same RODC's with the same security group (firewall) settings that are not experiencing this issue.
We are just using the standard Remote Desktop, not the 2012 Remote Desktop Services. We have tried to install this but the install always fails. See: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsserver/en-US/3ab983ce-9290-49ec-81e6-a3adf34cb8b2/remote-desktop-services-failed-on-windows-2012-server-amazon-vpc-ec2
The machines (the ones having this issue as well as the ones that do not have it) all have the exact same Windows updates installed.
Here is the detail of the event:
NOTE: Every 30 seconds it logs this exact message - entered the RUNNING state. I do not see other messages stating it entered the Stopped state.
