TPM_E_PCP_WRONG_PARENT

TPM_E_PCP_WRONG_PARENT means a key was imported or loaded under a storage parent different from the one required by its TPM protection hierarchy.

Do not move TPM-protected key blobs between machines or hierarchy contexts unless the export/import workflow explicitly supports it.
Verify that the key is being opened through the same provider and parent context used when it was created.
If a backup or migration path is required, use the application or certificate-management workflow designed for TPM-backed keys.
