SMS: Software Metering Clients Receive Error in liccli.log

MORE INFORMATION

In setting up Software Metering on a site with no server defined as a site software metering server, the error above will appear in the client's liccli.log if the Software Metering agent is installed on a client. 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\<site code>\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 name>\Site Hierarchy\<site name>\Site Settings\Site Systems\<site Server\
3. Go to Software Metering Server.
4. Check the box that reads "Use this site system as a software metering server."
