STATUS_CLIP_LICENSE_DEVICE_ID_MISMATCH
Two linked CLiP licenses refer to different devices
This error identifies a consistency problem inside a license pair. The evaluated app or entitlement license contains a device identifier, while the device license to which it is bound names a different device. Each object may be structurally valid on its own, but they cannot be combined into one authorization chain.
The mismatch commonly points to partial backup restore, copied licensing data, race conditions during reprovisioning, or deployment of licenses generated for different machines. It should not be repaired by editing identifiers because that invalidates signatures and obscures the source of the mixed state.
What to inspect
- Capture identifiers from both the app license and the bound device license.
- Check whether either artifact was restored, copied, or provisioned separately.
- Remove the mixed entitlement through the supported Store or management workflow.
- Acquire a new matched license set for the current device and user.
