MS-Windows Troubleshooting
You do not have access to set License options
Symptom:
When trying to run License Manager on the file server, it refuses to run, popping up a message box with the error:
You do not have access to set License options
Cause:
The only time this has been observed was after someone had tinkered with the registry and changed the access permissions on part of the registry. Although it is possible that a non-administrator account is being used.
Remedy:
-
Confirm that the account used is a member of the local administrators group. (Domain Admins normally are.)
-
Check the permissions on the registry key ‘
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ SYSTEM\ CurrentControlSet\ Services\ LicenseInfo’. The permissions on this key (and subsequent keys) should be set to:
Administrators Full Control CREATOR OWNER Full Control Everyone Read Server Operators Special Access [/]Query Value [/]Set Value [/]Create Subkey [/]Enumerate Subkeys [/]Notify [ ]Create Link [/]Delete [ ]Write DAC [ ]Write Owner [/]Read Control SYSTEM Full Control
These notes have been tested with Windows NT4 and may apply to later versions as well.
