FlashSnap License error message appears in the Application Event log after installing license key

Last published : Oct 01, 2026
When an evaluation copy of SFW with the FlashSnap feature is installed on a system, and then later a permanent license key for SFW that does not have the FlashSnap feature is installed on it, an error message is logged periodically in the Application Event log: (1862627)
Storage Foundation FlashSnap License is not installed
Workaround: To avoid having the error message logged in the Application Event log, use the Add or Remove Programs of the Windows Control Panel to remove the demo license and add the permanent license key.
