Licensing error when I try to start Microsoft Expression Studio 4
Question
- text/html12/6/2010 2:08:40 AMub3rst4r0
Every time I try to start Microsoft Expression Studio 4 I get this:
"A licensing error has occured. Restart your expression program and try again. If you continue to receive this error message, reinstall your Expression program to make sure that the license installs"
I downloaded expression studio from Dreamspark and have a 100% genuine edition of Microsoft Windows 7 (64 bit). I have tried reinstalling and repairing it (over 5 times now), removing the files in C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\SL\DL2\SoftwareLicensing, turning on the Software Licensing service, and running the System File Checker. I know that this error has something to do with my computer because I tried installing it on others and it works fine.
It seems that this error has been reported over and over again and there still isnt a fix. Will Microsoft please finally look into this error and fix it? If you can please tell me any other options I can try to fix this and if you need any information please let me know.

Hi ub3rst4r,
We're sorry you're experiencing these problems.
Which Expression application are you trying to launch?
After removing this directory (C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\SL\DL2\SoftwareLicensing), did you do an uninstall and reinstall of Expression Studio? Also, did Expression Studio ever work on this machine?
As part of this investigation, would you be willing to run a small program to output the state of your machine's license store? This neither collects nor displays any personally identifiable information. Please respond to exfordis@microsoft.com with the best way to contact you.
Thanks,
Suvani Kaura [MSFT]

Hi, I am still talking with Microsoft about this issue.
This is the email between me and Suvani Kaura (aka Christopher Cole):
Hi, I just tried to reinstall it for like the 100 time the way you told me and the same error is there. I would be glad to use a different diagnostic tool to see if you can find out whats wrong with it. Expression Studio 3 worked fine until I tried to update it to 4 and then it stopped working. Thanks
Nick,
To debug the issue you are running into, it would be helpful to see the current state of your Expression license store.
Please rename the package to CheckLicenses.ZIP and copy the contents to the machine with the failure?
From an elevated command prompt:
Run SN.exe –Vr LicenseTool.exe
SN.exe –Vr Microsoft.Expression.Licensing.dll
Run CheckAllLicenses.bat
Send the output back to me.
(SN.exe is included in the SN directory. Try the SN.exe in the 2.0 directory first)
Then you can run:
SN.exe –Vu LicenseTool.exe
SN.exe –Vu Microsoft.Expression.Licensing.dll
This tool will display the state of your license store.
Please reply with the displayed information.
No customer information is collected or displayed.
Thank you for your time.

Here is the output, not sure if it means anything to you..
Nick,
Thank you for the information. The output shows that your license store believe it is in a “Tampered” state.
Regretfully I am unable to give you the assistance that you need to resolve this issue.
You will need to contact Product Support.
Product Support has the tools to remotely connect to your machine and repair the issue.
I want to warn you that site asks for a credit card, but you will NOT be charged due to this being a licensing issue.
Here is the information from our Product Support contact:They contact us by going to http://support.microsoft.comand clicking the link on the page that says “Contact a Support Professional by Email, Online, or Phone.” When they do, they are asked to choose their product and then choose a “support topic”, mostly likely “Installation” and then “Product Key” in this kind of issue.
The site informs them that charges may apply and they are presented with three support options; email, online, or phone. Email shows a prices of $99 and both phone and online show a prices of $259. However, these customers will NOT be charged for licensing issues.
I apologize for the issue you are seeing and for not being able to resolve the issue.
With regards

I have attached the files associated with this email @ http://tinypaste.com/5771a5. I have now been redirected to the Expression Technical Support (xxxxxx@microsoft.com). I will update this thread once I hear from Microsoft (again).(I guess that email address is an internal email address & now I need to spend another 1 hour on the phone to Microsoft just to get redirected to different departments)
Cheers!

Nick,
FYI, I removed your email address from your post.
Christopher and Suvani are actually two different people, both of whom have been assisting you with your issue. You do need to open a case with us and we should be able to resolve your issue within about 30 minutes. If you will uninstall all Expression Studio products prior to calling, that will dramatically reduce the amount of time required to resolve your issue.

Nick,
You need to follow the directions that Christopher gave you. Here that information is again for your reference.

Use SharePoint Designer with SharePoint Online

- SharePoint
- Use SharePoint Designer with SharePoint Online
By Ken Withee, Jennifer Reed
SharePoint Designer provides an intuitive interface for the underlying SharePoint platform and a staggering range of development possibilities. You can, of course, develop and configure sites, pages, lists, and libraries, but you can also go deep into advanced functionality, including building custom page layouts, developing workflows, and creating branding (just to name a few).
Aside from using the browser, SharePoint Designer is one of the most useful tools for developing on the SharePoint platform — and a place you are likely spend a great deal of time.
To exercise all its well-muscled capabilities, SharePoint relies heavily on another Microsoft product: SQL Server, a database application that’s designed to store data.
In the case of SharePoint Online, you don’t need to worry about this product, but should at least be aware that SharePoint is using a database to store content and configuration data. Microsoft takes on the burden of supporting the infrastructure to SharePoint (including SQL Server). All you have to do is use the final product.
The SharePoint platform stores its content and configuration information in a number of SQL Server databases. Because those databases hold all the crucial goods, you can’t just crack open Windows Explorer and start looking at files in SharePoint. You need a tool that allows you to peer into the databases and work with the SharePoint platform. SharePoint Designer is just such a tool.
You can download, install, and use SharePoint Designer for free. After you install SharePoint Designer, use one of the following methods to open the tool:
Press the Windows key and type SharePoint Designer into the search box.
Click Start→All Programs→SharePoint→Microsoft SharePoint Designer 2010.
When you open SharePoint Designer, the Backstage View appears. Because SharePoint Designer is designed to work only with SharePoint, you must connect SharePoint Designer to an existing site or create a new site in an existing SharePoint environment. If you’ve already connected to a site, then that site shows up in the Recent Sites section — you can simply click the name of the site to connect and start developing.
After you connect to a site, the Ribbon activates, the navigation comes to life, and you have all the SharePoint Designer capabilities at your disposal.
If you’re a newcomer to SharePoint Designer, check out the following tips on what SharePoint Designer can do:
You can use SharePoint Designer to work with SharePoint. Because SharePoint stores all of its content and configuration information in a database, it would be very difficult to modify the database directly.
What you need is a logical window into the database in order to work with SharePoint. SharePoint Designer is a tool specifically for the task of connecting to the SharePoint database to provide you with the ability to perform development tasks.
You can develop a horde of SharePoint components. Develop pages, lists, libraries, data sources, content types, views, forms, workflows, and external content types — all without having to write any code. SharePoint Designer spans a large swath of development capabilities.
You can keep using SharePoint Designer when you go deeper into SharePoint development. You can work on master pages, page layouts, CSS, and JavaScript.
And here’s what you can’t do:
You can’t use SharePoint Designer as a more general web-development tool. If you don’t have a SharePoint site to develop, then you have no need for SharePoint Designer (or, really, anything for it to work on). If you need a more general web-development tool, check out Microsoft Expression Web. Expression Web is similar to SharePoint Designer, but it isn’t tied to SharePoint sites.
You can’t write .NET code. When your SharePoint site calls for .NET code, switch to Visual Studio.
SharePoint Designer 2010 works only with SharePoint 2010. If you are using Office 365, then you are in luck because SharePoint Online in Office 365 is based on SharePoint 2010. If you’re working with SharePoint 2007 (and not SharePoint Online, which is part of Office 365), install SharePoint Designer 2007 instead.

Microsoft Expression Web is an HTML editor and general web design software product by Microsoft. It was discontinued on December 20, 2012 and subsequently made available free of charge from Microsoft. It was a component of the also discontinued Expression Studio.
Expression Web can design and develop web pages using HTML5, CSS 3, ASP.NET, PHP, JavaScript, XML+XSLT and XHTML. Expression Web 4 requires .NET Framework 4.0 and Silverlight 4.0 to install and run.[1] Expression Web uses its own standards-based rendering engine which is different from Internet Explorer's Trident engine.[4]
Version history[edit]
On May 14, 2006, Microsoft released the first Community Technology Preview (CTP) version of Expression Web, code-named Quartz. On September 5, 2006, Microsoft released Beta 1. Beta 1 removed most of the FrontPage-proprietary (non-standard) features such as bots (use of FPSE features for server-side scripting), parts, functions, themes, automatic generation of navigation buttons, FrontPage forms, navigation pane to build a web site's hierarchy, and other non-standard features available in CTP 1. The Release To Manufacturing version was made available on December 4, 2006. The first and the only service pack was published in December 2007.[5] Expression Web does not have the form validation controls for HTML fields like FrontPage, but supports validator controls for ASP.NET.[6]
Microsoft Expression Web 2 was released in 2008.[7] Expression Web 2 offers native support for PHP and Silverlight. No service packs have been released for version 2.
Microsoft Expression Web 3 was released in 2009.[8] Until version 2, Expression Web was the only application in the Expression Studio suite based on Microsoft Office code and dependencies.[9] With version 3, Expression Web was rewritten in Windows Presentation Foundation, in line with the rest of the Expression Suite, without Microsoft Office dependencies. A result of this was features like customizable toolbars and menus, standard Windows color scheme, spell check, DLL addins, file menu export feature, drag-and-drop between remote sites, comparing sites by timestamp, automatic language tagging, basic macro support were removed in this version.[9][10][11][12][13][14][15] Other features like Undo do not work reliably.[16][17] Version 3 introduced Expression Web 3 SuperPreview tool for comparing and rendering webpage in various browsers. Also noted was the lack of support for root relative links, links that start with a "/" to refer to the root of a web server. This feature was added with Expression Web 3 Service Pack 1, released in November 2009.[18] Service Pack 2 for Expression Web 3 was released in April 2010.[19] Servive Pack 3 for Expression Web 3 was released in October 2011 and includes general product, stability, performance, and security fixes.[20]
Microsoft Expression Web 4 was released on June 7, 2010.[21] It added the option of HTML add-ins, and access to a web-based SuperPreview functionality, for testing pages on browsers that cannot be installed on the user's system (such as Mac OS X or Linux browsers). Microsoft Expression Web 4 also provides an SEO Checker which analyzes produced web site against the best practices for getting the highest possible search-engine rankings.[22] Version 4 does not bring back all the features removed in Version 3.[23] Expression Web 4 Service Pack 1 was released in March 2011 and added support for IntelliSense for the HTML5 and CSS3 draft specifications in the Code editor, HTML5 and CSS3 support in the CSS Properties palette, selected CSS3 properties in the Style dialogs, semantic HTML5 tags in Design View and new PHP 5.3 functions.[24][25] Expression Web 4 SP2 was released in July 2011, and fixed a number of issues and introduced new features such as jQueryIntelliSense support, a panel for managing snippets, Interactive Snapshot Panel, comment/uncomment functionality in Code View, and workspace and toolbar customization.[26]
Availability[edit]
As of December, 2012, Microsoft has announced that Expression Studio will no longer be a stand-alone product.[27]Expression Blend is being integrated into Visual Studio, while Expression Web and Expression Design will now be free products. Technical support is available for customers who purchased Expression Web or Expression Design following their published support lifetime guides, while no support will be offered to free downloaders. No new versions of Expression Web or Design are planned.[28]
Reception[edit]
Microsoft Expression Web received positive reviews. PC Pro awarded Expression Web 2 five stars out of six. "It largely succeeded by concentrating on providing standards-compliant support for the web's core markup languages, (X)HTML and CSS," Tom Arah concluded.[29]
PC Magazine also rated Expression Web 2 with 4 stars out of 5 and labeled it as a more cost-effective option compared to the main competitor, Adobe Dreamweaver. "Even if money is no object, Expression Web 2 might be your better choice," editor Edward Mendelson wrote.[30] However, PC Magazine criticized a lack of "Secure FTP in its Web-publishing functions" and "the ability to create browser-based (as opposed to server-based) scripting of dynamic pages that works in all browsers, including Safari". On the other hand, PC Magazine noted that "most designers won't care about their absence".[30] However, Microsoft Expression 3 later added support for SSH File Transfer Protocol (SFTP) (otherwise known as Secure FTP) as well as FTP over SSL (FTPS).[31]
Expression Web 4, like the previous versions, also received positive reviews[32] with PC Magazine calling it an "efficient website editor with full support for current standards," and praising its "clear interface" and "flexible preview functions."[33]
