Failed to schedule Software Protection service for re-start

Hi,
We're seeing an error in the event log and it seems that the permissions are okay. Also, drilled down to the task and got a popup message: Task SVCRestartTask: The task image is corrupt or has been tampered with.

Hi Nostar,
It seems the scheduled task "SvcRestartTask" has been corrupted, and please try to replace this task and follow the steps below:
1. Export the "SvcRestartTask" task in task scheduler, and save this .xml file as "oldSvcRestartTask", this steps is used to backup the current task.
2. Delete the SvcRestartTask task under the path Microsoft|Windows|SoftwareProtectionPlatform in Task Scheduler .
3. Make sure the SvcRestartTask file was removed from C:\Windows\System32\Tasks\Microsoft\Windows\SoftwareProtectionPlatform folder.
4. Export the "SvcRestartTask" task from other running server with the same Operating System Version, and copy the exported .xml file to current Server with the name "SvcRestartTask".
5. Select the SoftwareProtectionPlatform branch of Task Scheduler (Task Scheduler > Task Scheduler Library > Microsoft > Windows > SoftwareProtectionPlatform). Right click on it and select "Import Task", and import the "SvcRestartTask.xml"
file.
6. Check the Evnet Viewer.

Any one ever get this error in the event Viewer? I think its some sort of permissions issue for a software installed. But I can't seam to figure it out.

Hi,
This is usually caused by corruption in the scheduled task.
Please post the detail event id in application event log.
Meanwhile, you could have a try the following solution:
Recreate the task:
Net stop SPPSVC
Rename or delete the 3 files
from C:\Windows\System32\Tasks\Microsoft\Windows\SoftwareProtectionPlatform
SvcRestartTask
SvcRestartTaskLogon
SvcRestartTaskNetwork
From another working machine copy the 3 files or extract the files from the
DVD\ISO \sources folder using the install.wim file as your source
Rename with .xml extension
Import into Task scheduler
Run net start sppsvc
Regards.

Failed to schedule Software Protection service for re-start at 2113-01-12T17:08:03Z. Error Code: 0x80041316 every few seconds.

Can anybody help with this.

for anyone looking for the xml files, and don't feel like downloading the 1.7gb AIK, then extracting the 3.3gb install.wim file to a folder by mounting with ImageX, then extracting the 3 files and adding the .xml extension, here you go:

Unacceptable behavior from software protection service

I was using computer with windows 8.1 and everything shuts down and reboots. I look at system logs and it states System unexpectedly shut down. Also Computer was improperly shut down. I go to application and find entry Successfully scheduled
Software Protection service for restart at 2114-06-12T18:34:09Z. Reason Rules Engine. If user has administrative rights there should be override of this since it did not show an error state. Are they trying to make the OS less and Less useful?
I have a temperature sensor running and cpu was 60 degrees below max temperature.
PS last update broke my combo plug headset. System has forgotten how to set the single combo plug for input and output. I have a feeling it involves RealTek drivers again. It also affected Intel audio too.

Hi,
Many reasons could caused the computer shutdown expectedly.
Was this behavior regular?
Please check if there any schedule task is configured to carry out this operation.
Run this command:
schtasks /query /v /fo LIST
If there is no clue, perform a Clean Boot to see if there is any third-party software conflicts.

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

Microsoft Office can't find your license for this application - multiple copies of Office 2013 x32 failing to start, Software Protection Service timing out

We're experiencing a growing problem with our users in several different domains running in to Microsoft Office 2013 x32 'activation' issues. We use KMS for licensing, which works properly, but some of the machines (~20-30 out of 1000+) sporadically
throw the following error:
'Microsoft Office can't find your license for this application. Microsoft Office will now exit.'
We know it's not an issue with the licenses per se, since they work on and off and we can force KMS activation correctly / talk to the KMS servers.
It appears to be an issue with the Software Protection service not starting properly. In Event Viewer, we see the following:
'Software protection service failed to start due to the following error- the service did not respond in a timely fashion.
Event 7000'
This is occurring on a variety of machines in a variety of environments, all fully patched with the latest Office updates. It's inconsistent, and the 'manually restart the Software Protection Service' solution is not viable as it's occurring on many
different workstations. Office repairs have also been unsuccessful.
Has anyone else come across this? Or have any idea why the Software Protection Service might be sporadically failing? Maybe an Office update in the last 2-3 months?
Thanks for any info.

Software Protection service at Windows Server 2012

Hello
I've faced the issue with Software Protection service. The service is not able to start from Task Scheduler. When I try to run it manually it fails to start to. I found the theoretical solution at https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/3033200 but it doesn't
work for me. I was mange to start the Software Protection service when I add a user NETWORK SERVICE with Full Control to the C:\Windows\System32 and I allow inheritence of subfolders and files. It would be the great news but our AD policy deletes the NETWORK
SERVICE and the issue occurs again causes for eg. issue with Windows Activation or installation of the Desktop Expirience feature. Is there any other soultion to fix it without adding the NETWORK SERVICE to the system32 directory?

Hi,
Thanks for your post.
What is the error when you try to start the service, access denied?
You could use ICACLS to reset permissions.

Excel Crashes every time Software Protection Service initialises.

Hello,
I was wondering if I could get some help. I have an issue whereby Excel 2013 seems to crash what seems like randomly, however when I look in the event log it seems to be every time the Software Protection Service initialises while Excel is running.
I have never seen this happen myself, as it's one of my clients machines, but can confirm each time he says it happens in the event viewer.
If you look in the event logs, you have events in this order:
Information 21/01/2015 08:41:25 Windows Error Reporting 1001 None
Error 21/01/2015 08:41:16 Application Error 1000 (100)

Information 21/01/2015 08:21:26 Office Software Protection Platform Service 900 None
(apologies, I can't add screenshots until my account is verified)
As a test, I disabled Software Protection Service temporarily and this seemed to resolve the issue, until we reactivated windows and the service resumed it's duty.

Hi Jamie,
Does this only happen to Excel 2013? What about other Office applications?
Office Software Protection Platform Service is responsible for the verification of your Office licensce, please first check the activation status of your Office installation.
Since you've mentioned that "disabled Software Protection Service temporarily and this seemed to resolve the issue", I would also suggest we first try below steps and see if issue persists:
Go to C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\OfficeSoftwareProtectionPlatform and rename
tokens.dat to tokens.old.
Go to C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\OfficeSoftwareProtectionPlatform\Cache
and rename cache.dat to cache.old
Restart your computer, then launch excel and check again.
Please feel free to post back with any findings.

It's recommended to download and install
Configuration Analyzer Tool (OffCAT), which is developed by Microsoft Support teams. Once the tool is installed, you can run it at any time to scan for hundreds of known issues in Office
programs.

The Software Protection service entered the running state.

I noticed this event fire once in minute.
I can't see tree from leaves in System Log

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.

Continuous "The Software Protection service has completed licensing status check" messages

I have one client machine that gets these messages about 5 separate times when launching a Office 2010 application.
Event ID: 1003 The Software Protection service has completed licensing status check.
From what I've seen this relates to a KMS server activation. We do not use a KMS server, and have a valid MAK activation code that is used throughout the organization. It is valid and I've even used the Volume Activation Management Tool to reinstall the key
to the computer and make sure it is activated. I've also done a repair of office and had no luck. Any ideas?

Hi

Is there any anti reverse engineering or software protection products for JAVA ?

Hi
Does anyone knows is there any anti reverse engineering or software protection products for JAVA ?

By the time this post is written, there is no such tool that comes with the jdk.
I have used proguard with success applying obfuscation and other features.

BE6K - Software Maintenance Service for VCS

Hi,
I have some doubts about the software maintenance service for the Cisco VCS licenses included with BE 6000.
In table 27 of ordering guide we have:
LIC-VCSE-5+ -> CON-ECMU-LICVCSE   900 $
LIC-VCS-10+ -> CON-ECMU-LICVCS1   900 $
I think there are two errors: part numbers of service and their prices
Probably the correct ones are the following :
LIC-VCSE-5+ -> CON-ECMU-LICVCSE5   1.035 $
LIC-VCS-10+ -> CON-ECMU-LICVCS10   910,8 $
what do you think ?
Regards
Filippo

Hi,
the ordering guide has not been yet updated.
Can anyone kindly help me ?

Hi,
Please try the steps below to resolve the issue:
1.net stop slsvc (select yes) in my case it was already stopped.
2.in command prompt type:
3.cd %windir%\ServiceProfiles\NetworkService\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\SoftwareLicensing
4.rename the tokens.dat file: ren tokens.dat tokens.old
5.still in the command prompt type cd %windir%\system32
6.type net start slsvc
7.type cscript slmgr.vbs -rilc (this may take a long time)
8.Then reboot the machine twice !!!
9.slmgr.vbs –ipk XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX (assuming you have a MAK key, not a KMS key)
10.To activate your OS, just type: slmgr.vbs –ato
If there any other error message? You could refer to the article below to troubleshoot the issue:

Software Protection service broken

Out of the blue today a Server 2012 R2 Standard became un-activated. When I try to activate it it says it cannot at this time. Looking at event viewer I see error 7000 and 7009 mentioning Software Protection as failing to start due to the following: The
service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion. Manually starting the service results in the same error 1053, service did not respond to the start or control request etc.
Rebooted multiple times, all windows updates installed, sfc scanned twice the system to no errors found etc. At this point I cannot find any cause for this problem and no solution ive implemented works. Anyone have any ideas?

Hi Nexworks,
Did you installed anti-virus software in the server ?
If yes , you may try to uninstall it to check the result .
Best Regards
