SL_E_RIGHT_NOT_CONSUMED
SL_E_RIGHT_NOT_CONSUMED: diagnose the owning boundary
SL_E_RIGHT_NOT_CONSUMED (0xC004F002) is documented as The Software Licensing Service reported that rights consumption failed. Treat that wording as the specific license-right accounting boundary; it is more useful than a generic “component failed” label.
Evidence that matters
Record the requested right, license identity, consumption state, and transaction/correlation ID. Verify whether the right was actually consumed before attempting compensation or retry.
Interpretation and verification
Keep the affected object and caller identity stable while changing only the rejected prerequisite. The correction is proven when the original operation crosses this boundary with the intended state or output. If a different HRESULT appears afterward, preserve it as a separate later-stage result rather than folding it back into SL_E_RIGHT_NOT_CONSUMED.
