SL_E_PUBLISHING_LICENSE_NOT_INSTALLED: the publishing license referenced by the licensing graph is not installed
SL_E_PUBLISHING_LICENSE_NOT_INSTALLED (0xC004F017) identifies a specific boundary: the publishing license referenced by the licensing graph is not installed. 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
Record the product/application ID, publishing-license identifier, parent/child license relationship, and store generation. This code is about the publishing license object itself, not a generic activation failure.
Corrective test
Repair the product licensing package that supplies the publishing license and confirm the same product graph resolves it after servicing. Preserve the original identifiers while testing; if another HRESULT appears after this boundary is fixed, treat that value as the next-stage result.
