LicenseUtil.exe Windows Exception Code 0xc0000409

Using SOA version 1.1.132.15 running on Windows 7 Ultimate.

Console is now showing a “License warning” stating the current license is not active and is in “Waiting for Trial” status.

This problem apparently accounts for the fact that SOA is now reporting that all clients are disconnected (even though the clients can connect to the server and download updates); see my previous post “All Workstations Disconnected in SOA”.

This license was purchased last year through Avast Foresite USA and is valid for 3 years.

I have tried re-inserting the license twice.

I have tried restarting the SOA servers several times in the following ways:

Manually through the Windows Servers application.
Automatically through a Windows cold reboot.
Allowing the SOA servers to restart themselves after attempting to reinsert the license.

In each case LicenseUtil.exe consistently fails, and generates Windows Exception Code 0xc0000409.

I have seen other posts on this topic, however, unlike those situations, no attempt to restart the Avast! servers or the computer solves the problem.
