STATUS_FVE_NO_FEATURE_LICENSE
BitLocker feature is not licensed
STATUS_FVE_NO_FEATURE_LICENSE is narrower than a generic BitLocker absence. The base BitLocker stack may exist, but the specific feature requested by policy or management code is not licensed for this Windows installation.
Treat this as a capability check. It can appear in fleet scripts that assume all devices support the same BitLocker management features even when Windows edition, SKU, or feature payload differs.
Diagnostic focus
- Identify the exact BitLocker API, policy, or management command that failed.
- Compare required feature support with the Windows edition and deployment channel.
- Return a clear unsupported-feature result in automation instead of retrying volume operations.
