SL_E_LICENSE_NOT_BOUND: the selected license exists but is not bound to the current environment
SL_E_LICENSE_NOT_BOUND (0xC004F080) identifies a specific boundary: the selected license exists but is not bound to the current environment. 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
Preserve license ID, product identity, hardware/environment binding data, and the operation that evaluated the binding. Reinstalling a key does not prove or repair environment binding.
Corrective test
Use the supported rebind/reactivation path for the current environment, then verify the same license is selected and accepted for the original operation. Preserve the original identifiers while testing; if another HRESULT appears after this boundary is fixed, treat that value as the next-stage result.
