Product key is appliance specific and cannot be used for this Core (4044019)

When applying a license file, a dialog box indicates that the "Product key is appliance specific and cannot be used for this Core"

Please make sure that the correct license file has been selected. If indeed the server is a DL appliance, please ensure that it wasn't de-branded. If the appliance was de-branded, please contact your sale representative to request the change of the hardware license for a software one.

If the issue persist, perhaps the license information is corrupted and require to be re-created:

1. Stop Rapid Recovery Core Service
2. Export the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\AppRecovery\Core\LicenseInfo key for backup purposes
3. Delete the key
4. Restart the Core Service to re-create the licensing information
5. Next time the Core Console is accessed, a dialog box will be displayed that will allow the application of the license file
