SL_REMAPPING_SP_PUB_TS_NAMESPACE_NOT_FOUND
What this Software Protection result isolates
Keep the symbolic result SL_REMAPPING_SP_PUB_TS_NAMESPACE_NOT_FOUND together with HRESULT 0xC004D315. The producer is the trusted store and secure-timer layer; at the protected state store that keeps namespaced entries, attributes, secure timers, trusted time, hardware binding, rearm state and integrity breadcrumbs, Windows determined that the requested trusted-store namespace does not exist.
This result already rules out several broad guesses: a missing namespace is broader than a missing entry inside an existing namespace. Preserve its operation name, product instance and timestamp so a later retry does not hide the original failure.
Where it sits in the licensing pipeline
Trusted-store results concern protected persistent state; deleting the store can erase the evidence that distinguishes missing data, capacity, access, binding and integrity failures. To verify this, record namespace identifier, expected creator, platform/component version and recreation/migration history.
A positive trusted-time or rearm/recreation result must be interpreted by HRESULT severity and the subsequent license state, not by treating every nonzero value as a fatal error.
A reproducible troubleshooting path
- Record this result,
0xC004D315, the exact API or service operation, and the affected product or protected object. - Prove the specific condition: record namespace identifier, expected creator, platform/component version and recreation/migration history.
- Compare the neighboring results below and identify which condition actually applies.
The diagnostic record that matters
- trusted time, timer deadline and hardware-binding state
- tamper/recreation/rearm events in chronological order
- namespace, entry key and attribute name
- entry/timer flags including read-only state
- requested and actual data size
Similar symptoms, different conditions
| Result | Different condition |
|---|---|
SL_REMAPPING_SP_PUB_TS_ACCESS_DENIED | Compared with this result, the caller is not authorized for the requested trusted-store namespace or operation. |
SL_REMAPPING_SP_PUB_TS_NAMESPACE_IN_USE | Compared with this result, a namespace operation requires exclusive ownership but active handles or transactions still reference it. |
SL_REMAPPING_SP_PUB_TS_ATTRIBUTE_NOT_FOUND | Compared with it, the requested attribute is not present on the selected trusted-store entry. |
Actions that usually destroy useful evidence
- Do not manually delete protected store files before collecting state and event evidence.
- Do not use rearm as a generic repair for unrelated activation or integrity errors.
Correcting the producing condition
Install or initialize the owning component so it creates the namespace through supported APIs.
Representative case: A feature is removed and later code still queries its protected namespace.
