Another sign of a problem occurs when attempting to Add Licenses Now, a failure screen appears
indicating no licenses were added.
Here are some steps that can be followed to attempt to rersolve these licensing issues:
1. Security Manager requires the proper startup of these 3 services.
Flexera Licensing Service
HP Print License Service
HP JetAdvantage Security Manager
You may need to stop and restart these services. Stop them in this order:
HP JetAdvantage Security Manager
HP Print License Service
Flexera Licensing Service
Restart them in the reverse order
Flexera Licensing Service
HP Print License Service
HP JetAdvantage Security Manager
Now launch the UI.
2. The licensing process in Security Manager is handled by two services: Flexera and HP Print
License service. The latter relies on the former working. There may be cases where the
Flexera service can’t start because of reduced permissions on the service account it is
using. Windows Event Viewer may indicate the service cannot start because of reduced
permissions. By default the Flexera service runs under the Local Service account. If
permissions are reduced on this account and cannot be increased, try running the service
under another account with more permissions.
3. If both services are running and issues still arise, there may be residuals from a previous
install, such as trying to add evaluation licenses on top of previous evaluation
licenses. Installing permanent licenses when evaluation licenses are present and not expired
is usually OK, but attempting to install evaluation licenses when existing evaluation licenses
haven’t expired can cause issues as evaluation licenses are not meant to be stacked. In this
case, the following options should be considered:
a. Uninstall Security Manager, make sure the uninstaller removes licenses, then reinstall
and add licenses. The uninstaller asks if you want to delete the database also, and
you can choose not to do so if it is desired to maintain all the devices, policies, and
remediation data from the previous install. When you re-install Security Manager,
just point to the existing database and install the licenses.
