PEERDIST_ERROR_NOT_LICENSED
The SKU is not licensed.
PEERDIST_ERROR_NOT_LICENSED is Win32 error 4064 (0xFE0) and belongs to Peer Distribution and BranchCache Windows edition and feature entitlement.
Troubleshooting steps
- Record OS edition, activation state, requested BranchCache mode, and feature installation.
- Record the exact PeerDist function involved in Windows edition and feature entitlement.
What to verify
Verify whether the installed Windows SKU is not licensed for the requested PeerDist capability. Check OS edition, activation state, requested BranchCache mode, and feature installation; record the exact PeerDist function involved in Windows edition and feature entitlement.
Handling, retry, and recovery
Use a licensed edition or supported mode; retries and service restarts cannot add an absent SKU entitlement.
Difference from nearby codes
SERVICE_UNAVAILABLE is temporal service state, while NOT_LICENSED is a stable product capability decision.
Practical example
An application enables hosted-cache behavior on an edition that lacks the entitlement; capability detection disables that option.
