Summary

When customer installs Argent AT on a domain machine, if he logons as a local account, he may not be able to apply Argent provided license

Argent AT license uses machine domain to determine if license is valid

Machine domain is the domain that machine joins, not the domain or workgroup of current logon account

Argent AT setup program uses Local Security Authority (LSA) APIs to determine the machine domain

Normal local user usually does not have rights to call LSA APIs

When setup program cannot determine the machine domain, and it assumes machine is a workgroup member

As a result, the license is deemed invalid

Argent AT 3.1A-1601-T12 has been enhanced to catch such a user error

Technical Background

Resolution
