Scans Show Few/No Missing Patches and No Installed Patches.

Any of the following symptoms may apply:

• When scanning any machines there are 0 patches missing, 0 patches installed.
• When scanning any machine the only results are Informational patch type.
• When scanning any machine it shows a small number of patches missing, and none installed.

This is often caused by Protect's licensing becoming corrupted causing it to not find active licensing for specific patch types.

1. Verify the issue is being caused by a licensing issue.
2. Enable verbose logging, and clear existing console logs.

3. Run a patch scan against a single test machine, using the WUScan template.
   • It is important to use the default WUScan template as it will rule out any custom filtering as the cause of the issue.
4. Verify the results return with same symptoms.
5. Open the newly created HF log:
   • "C:\ProgramData\LANDesk\Shavlik Protect\Logs\hf.username@username-pc.log"

  It is important to have deleted any previously existing logs before running this test. This will cause Protect to create a new single HF log file for review.

6. Search in the HF.log file for the phrase   Not licensed to scan Patch type

7. If an entry is found indicating Not licensed to scan Patch type [###], Protect needs to have its license re-activated.
