SL_E_USE_LICENSE_NOT_INSTALLED: the use license needed to authorize the requested operation is missing
SL_E_USE_LICENSE_NOT_INSTALLED (0xC004F003) identifies a specific boundary: the use license needed to authorize the requested operation is missing. Keep it separate from neighboring errors that may occur in the same product but represent a different lookup, state, trust, or transport decision.
Evidence to capture
Capture product/application IDs, requested right, use-license lookup result, token/store generation, and the first Software Protection event. A product key being present does not prove the required use license exists.
Corrective test
Obtain or restore the specific use license for that product and verify the original right can be evaluated; do not substitute a publishing or issuance license. Preserve the original identifiers while testing; if another HRESULT appears after this boundary is fixed, treat that value as the next-stage result.
