SL_REMAPPING_SP_PUB_TS_ENTRY_READ_ONLY

What the protected licensing code means

Keep the symbolic result SL_REMAPPING_SP_PUB_TS_ENTRY_READ_ONLY together with HRESULT 0xC004D310. The producer is the trusted store and secure-timer layer; at the protected state store that keeps namespaced entries, attributes, secure timers, trusted time, hardware binding, rearm state and integrity breadcrumbs, Windows determined that the requested mutation targets a trusted-store entry marked read-only.

Diagnostic discriminator: Microsoft describes this condition as “Read-only entry cannot be modified.” Use that exact state to separate the value from nearby results in the same subsystem.

This result already rules out several broad guesses: the entry is present and readable; policy forbids modification. Preserve its operation name, product instance and timestamp so a later retry does not hide the original failure.

A reproducible troubleshooting path

  1. Use read-only inspection first: capture entry key, namespace, flags, operation and creator/ownership information.

Where it sits in the licensing pipeline

Trusted-store results concern protected persistent state; deleting the store can erase the evidence that distinguishes missing data, capacity, access, binding and integrity failures. To verify this, capture entry key, namespace, flags, operation and creator/ownership information.

A positive trusted-time or rearm/recreation result must be interpreted by HRESULT severity and the subsequent license state, not by treating every nonzero value as a fatal error.

Minimum data for a reliable diagnosis

  • requested and actual data size
  • trusted time, timer deadline and hardware-binding state
  • tamper/recreation/rearm events in chronological order
  • namespace, entry key and attribute name
  • entry/timer flags including read-only state

Recommended handling

Use the supported owner operation or create a new mutable entry where the schema permits.

Representative case: A maintenance tool tries to overwrite an immutable licensing proof entry.

Why the symbolic code matters

ResultDifferent condition
SL_REMAPPING_SP_PUB_TIMER_READ_ONLYCompared with this result, the requested update targets a secure timer whose deadline or attributes are immutable.
SL_REMAPPING_SP_PUB_TS_ATTRIBUTE_READ_ONLYCompared with this result, an update targets a protected entry attribute marked read-only.
SL_REMAPPING_SP_PUB_TS_FULLCompared with it, the trusted store has no capacity for the requested additional protected state.

Actions that usually destroy useful evidence

  • Do not manually delete protected store files before collecting state and event evidence.
  • Do not use rearm as a generic repair for unrelated activation or integrity errors.
